Oooh, you only take exams after the last term? So, do all the terms bleed together? WAIT--is this like Harry Potter? How American and dumb of me to have to ask, huh?

What if I came out after the end of the Michaelmas term? Or toward the end of it?

Haha the exams are very Harry Potter-esque. I had not even thought about that. :) It is kind of confusing though. I mean, it makes sense for the classes that last the entire year, but what about the classes that are only 10 weeks long?

Hm...methinks you coming out toward the end/at the end of Michaelmas will work swimmingly. There's that odd week of lag time between the "end of instruction" and the "end of the term"...maybe, if that week is actually free, it will work in our favor. I'll let you know ASAP. I will receive orientation materials in July, and they might clarify a few of these fuzzy issues :)
