Academics and Research
The 2020-21 academic calendar has been modified to lessen the impact of COVID-19 on our campuses.
- We have canceled our 2021 Winter Session and the spring 2021 semester will begin on Jan. 11, 2021.
- We have decided to cancel Spring Break, and instead, are implementing five Wellness Days where classes will not be held on:
- Thursday, February 18
- Friday, February 19
- Monday, March 22
- Tuesday, March 23
- Wednesday, April 21
- The last day of spring 2021 classes is scheduled for April 23, with final exams occurring April 26-30, 2021.
Classroom and Physical Space Protocols
- Classrooms and other learning spaces have been reviewed and redesigned to conform with CDC guidelines for physical distancing. Seating arrangements (chairs, desks, tables) have been labeled or removed.
- Classroom technology has been enhanced to allow for virtual and in-person learning.
- Buildings have marked entrances and exits for one-way traffic patterns that must be followed.
- Common spaces in classroom buildings have adjusted capacities to ensure physical distancing.
- Extra cleaning and disinfection is ongoing throughout all buildings on campus.
