Non-standard teaching periods 2015 The University also delivers a number of non‑standard teaching periods through external providers or to meet special course requirements. The University publishes a comprehensive list of all teaching periods and associated subject Census Dates on the website at: latrobe.edu.au/calendar/all-students/ census-dates Non‑standard teaching periods appear in the form WXXYY, for example W0622. These indicate the whole weeks of the teaching period, and run from the first Monday to the last Sunday. E.g. W0622 has a teaching period that begins on the first day of the sixth whole week in 2015 (Monday 2 February) and finishes on the last day of the twenty‑second whole week in 2015 (Sunday 31 May).
