Academic year chart 2020/21 Notes The chart (on page 2 of this document) is an illustration of the 2020-21 academic year as agreed by Senate on 21 November 2018, 5 June 2019, 19 March 2020 and 25 2021.

1. Award ceremony dates are to be confirmed. 2. Bank holiday dates are shown in their normal, expected slots, but may not be definitive. 3. University holiday dates are shown in their normal configurations around bank holidays, but may not be definitive.

When staff in the academic grades (i.e. from Lecturer through to Professor) request annual leave they will need to select whether their requested leave is in an in-semester or out-of-semester period. This determines if authorisation is required (it is required for leave during the in-semester period but not during the out-of-semester period).

The in-semester period is defined by the periods shown in the chart with a white background or those marked with S (Study days), R/A and [A] days (Revision and assessment days), and W (Welcome activities for new students). Therefore when staff in the academic grades request annual leave falling within any of these dates they should always select the in-semester option.
