Does anyone know the start date, holidays, breaks for this upcoming academic year?

I saw this on the KFUPM post but it appears the holidays are from last year...

The 2010/2011 academic year will begin on 25th September, 2010. There are also two holidays for the whole country: Eid Al-Fitr (15th September to 25th September, 2009) and Eid Al-Adha (21st November to 4th December 2009) as well as an inter-semester break from 10th February to 19th February 2010 and a short mid-semester break in the second semester from 15th to 23rd April 2010.

Thanks, but I didn't see the academic calendar for the upcoming 2010-2011 year, just this past year. I'm assuming the holidays fluctuate.

Probably not yet published.
Locals do not plan their lives by the calendar. They get up in the morning and ask,"What shall we do today ?"

Thats understandable.

If anyone knows atleast the start date (I'm assuming it will be after Eid al-Fitr again??), that would be helpful for those of us who are trying to apply for jobs and would like to know about when they would be coming if they were hired. August? September?

For those who went last year, did you go before Ramadhaan, during, or after? I know not everyone's visas process at the same time but when was the report date?

Thanks

Our reporting date is 18 September 2010. I imagine it will be similar in 2011. Maybe a bit earlier ?
