Classes move online after Thanksgiving
|
|
The end of the fall semester includes changes to course modality, building access, schedules, and operations after Thanksgiving.
All classes are online after Thanksgiving. The last day of in-person classes will be Tuesday, Nov. 24. Face-to-face and hybrid courses will switch to online-only modality after Thursday, Nov. 26, through the end of the semester.
This decision was made to minimize the possibility of students and employees becoming COVID-19 positive during the break, then spreading the virus on campus upon their return.
Changes to building access and schedules and more details are available on the Student FAQ, Post-Thanksgiving plans website.
