The Academic Calendar for KUPTM has the following features:

KUPTM uses a 3 three semester system in which a short semester is sandwiched between two long semesters.

The first semester of the academic year normally begins in January.

For the long semester, a 7-1-7 split of instruction weeks and semester break followed by 1 week study leave and 2 weeks of final examination.

The second semester of the academic year normally begins in middle of the year which is a short semester with 7 instruction week followed by 1 week of revision week and 1 week of final examination.

The third semester of the academic year begins in September which is another long semester.

Class replacement will be done in cases where public holidays disrupt the accumulation of 14 instruction weeks within a long semester or 7 instruction weeks of the short semester.

The semester break may be adjusted whenever possible to coincide with major public holidays (such as Hari Raya and Chinese New Year Celebrations) to minimize class replacement.

The University reserves the right to make any changes to the academic calendar when necessary. Students are advised to be aware for announcements regarding changes at all times.
