    By my reckoning it should be week 19, but that's just based on counting because I know our Study Week for the exams in December was Week 13. (That seems like a huge gap :O)

    I got some good news for you.. It is 1. Each semester starts on week one. Classes end week 12. Exams are weeks 14 and 15.

    But SIS says I have a CAL in weeks 20, 22, 24, ... I assumed these were actually how the weeks were named!

    If you've a 10 credit module the weeks might be listed continuously from Semester 1 to 2 (I don't know, I've never had one). Otherwise, each semester is completely independent.

    All of mine are 5 credit modules, and are separate to semester one modules! Sure I'll see in Semester 2 - I'm a first year so I'm not sure how it works yet :)

    It is probably down to whoever inputs the information into the system or else down to the individual departments. Different schools might have different outlooks on whether it is week 12 or week 24 in Semester 2. It is far more common to start again at week 1 in Semester 2.
