GLI Academic Calendar
Dates Subject to Change
GLI follows the UC San Diego academic calendar (fall, winter, and spring). English as a Second Language (ESL) courses are offered during the academic year as well as content-based courses designed for non-native English speakers to supplement the GPS curriculum.
