Title: Time off Campus in October 2018?
Post by: Porta22 on September 23, 2016, 02:28:39 pm

Hi,

I will be at university in 2018 and I was wondering how a two week trip to America would affect my course.  The trip is around the 1st of October.  What will I have to do whilst I am absent?

I can't recommend that. Depending on your course, you could miss heaps of content, you could miss attendance (which can be a hurdle), you could miss whole assignments or labs, etc. Even if one of those weeks falls in midsem week for Sem 2, the latter part of any semester is usually when assignments start to pile up, so it's a very risky move. About half of your year in uni is actually holidays (each sem is only 12 weeks with a couple of exam weeks...), so Id be planning a trip in those times instead.
