## NUS Academic Calendar
The academic calendar for the National University of Singapore (NUS) is structured into two main semesters and a special term.

* **Mini-Semesters:** Within each regular semester, there are two consecutive mini-semesters.
* **Mini-Semester A:** 6 weeks of instruction, a 1-week Reading Week, and 1 week of examinations.
* **Mini-Semester B:** 6 weeks of instruction, a 1-week Reading Week, and 2 weeks of examinations (which are the same as the end-of-semester examinations).
* **Special Term:** This takes place during the Semester 2 vacation and is split into two parts, each lasting 6 weeks, including an examination period.

The academic year typically begins with **Orientation Week** in early August, followed by **Semester 1** and then **Semester 2** starting in January.
