Please review ACICIS’ latest COVID-19 update here. While ACICIS aims to keep the information on our website as accurate and up-to-date as possible, any advice is provided as a guide only and should not be relied upon when formulating travel and study plans. Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, rules and regulations pertaining to study in Indonesia (e.g. visa and entry requirements) have changed significantly and regularly at short notice.

ACICIS anticipates that relevant rules and regulations will continue to change at multiple junctures prior to the commencement of coming program intakes. Participants should not make any travel arrangements prior to receiving further advice in their formal Acceptance Letter from ACICIS.

Please note that the below semester dates are intended as a guide only. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that the provided program dates are as accurate as possible, all dates are subject to change. Academic calendars at Indonesian universities are typically issued in the months prior to the semester, and, even after issue, may be changed at short notice. ACICIS orientation dates may be moved forward or backward to accommodate changes in the semester start date at Indonesian partner universities.  Participants should not make any travel arrangements prior to receiving further advice in their formal “welcome letter” from ACICIS.

Orientation is compulsory for all students, for ALL programs. Only in instances of extreme hardship (eg. medical or family emergency) will ACICIS consider a late arrival, and this decision is made entirely at the discretion of ACICIS’ Resident Director in Indonesia. Evidence of hardship (not merely inconvenience) will be required.
