hey. just for future reference or anyone else that wants to know where all this information is. that way they can learn and find out themselves later or help other ppl with the problem!
you would go to undergraduate calendar of that year > Under heading - Additional Calendar Information > Seasonal Dates > Seasonal Dates 2008-2009 > Fall/Winter Season 2008/09
there will be a chart listing all our holidays, when school starts, when exam starts, when exam ends and more!
hope that helps other ppl that have similar questions like this.
