The Almanac for the 2024/2025 academic year at the Tanzania Institute of Accountancy is a crucial tool that provides a comprehensive guide to all major academic events throughout the year. This includes the start and end dates of semesters, examination periods, holidays, and other academic-related events. The Almanac helps students plan their academic schedules effectively and prepare for upcoming events.
The Almanac is divided into two semesters. Each semester begins with student registration and an orientation week for new students, followed by a period of regular classes, periodic meetings with instructors, seminars, and internal assessments. Towards the end of each semester, students are expected to prepare for and participate in end-of-semester examinations, which usually span one to two weeks.
After exams, students have a short break before the start of the next semester. The Almanac also highlights deadlines for submitting coursework, payment of fees, and academic exhibitions where students can showcase their work. Students are encouraged to use the Almanac as a guide to keep track of important dates and events that could affect their academic progress.
Additionally, the Almanac outlines events such as graduation ceremonies, entrepreneurship seminars, and social events organized by students and staff. These events provide opportunities for students to learn beyond the classroom, develop social and professional skills, and build a network within the academic community. The Almanac for the 2024/2025 academic year is available online through the TIA website, making it easy for students to download and follow.
