Near holidays and Tet holidays, the school will continue to issue detailed notices.

Speaking to Tuoi Tre Online , MSc. Pham Thai Son - Director of the Admissions and Communications Center of Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade - said: "Every year, the school announces the training plan so that students, staff and lecturers know clearly. According to the schedule, students will start registering for courses in May 2025. So the time for the school to announce the above information is not too early.

In this plan, the school officially announces the Tet holiday time so that students can proactively arrange their study schedule and travel home...".

According to Mr. Son, this is the general training schedule of the school. As the holidays and Tet holidays approach, the school will continue to issue more detailed and specific announcements so that students and employees can understand clearly.
