       St. Clare's 
        University Foundation Course follows a semester system. The first semester 
        runs from late August to mid-December, with a one-week mid-semester break. 
        The second semester runs from early January to mid-June, with a two-week 
        break around Easter, and a short break in February. Examinations are taken 
        at the end of the second semester. 
      NB. Please 
        note that students must vacate St. Clare's housing by 10.00 am on the
