Shoot, if you're a first year 6-year you want the foundation year dates not the med dates. Sorry I can't get into the foundation year pages (just the medical ones)

You'll probably have to call the college student services office. They should know.

thanks man i'll call them up. i couldn't interpret what they had on their site, but i figured that it wasn't for foundation students.
