CUPA Immersion Program Dates
Since many students have the option to directly matriculate into the French university system during their semester with CUPA, we set our spring and fall calendars in line with our Paris university partners. French universities finalize their dates much later than what American students are accustomed to, which is why CUPA publishes its official calendar mid-spring for the upcoming fall semester, and mid-fall for the following spring semester.
