<p>does anyone know where I can find this? I'm specifically trying to find out when and how long the break in December is. Is it after exams?</p>

<p>Yup, exams are the week before Christmas break begins. Break is usually ~2 weeks, then IAP begins. Second semester doesn't begin until ~the first week of February.</p>
<p>Next year, Christmas break will start December 22 (although you will probably not have finals every day of finals week, and some people are done after the Monday or Tuesday of the week) and end January 6.</p>
