KOI operates on a semester based trimester system, allowing students to complete a three year bachelor degree in two years if no trimester breaks are taken. If trimester breaks are taken, a degree cannot be completed in the minimum time.
It is compulsory for students to complete two consecutive trimesters in their first year of study. After two consecutive trimesters of study, students may apply to take trimester breaks. Approval of a trimester break is not automatic, and is dependent on academic progress. Students who wish to apply for a trimester break must do so in writing, before the end of week 10 of the trimester before they wish to take a break.
