General Announcements

We are aware of a server issue that occurred in the class registration system on Monday, Aug. 21 between approximately midnight and 1 a.m.

Thank you for your patience. At this time, all Spring 2021 Main Campus full-semester class waitlists have been restored and waitlisting is available.

On Friday, Jan. 15, classes will follow a Wednesday class meeting schedule (excludes law).

The deadline to submit a Spring 2021 residency petition is 5 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 18, 2020.

Today, we are announcing that the spring 2021 semester will start on Jan. 14 and the campus will continue to offer in-person and remote courses. We're also sharing key updates to address a number of lessons learned this fall.

While I am convinced that replicating spring 2020's expansion of pass/fail options is not the best choice for this fall semester, I do urge all of our instructors to show compassion for the stress our students are feeling as a result of this year's less than optimal teaching and learning conditions.

With sincere gratitude for the outstanding work of our student body, we will transition from our temporary remote teaching mode and resume in-person/hybrid teaching on Wednesday, Oct. 14. We expect most classes to fully return to their original fall 2020 instructional modes by this date, with exceptions based on specific public health requirements and individual faculty requests, subject to department chair and dean approvals.

As of Monday, Sept. 14, our updated front desk hours are Mondays and Thursdays only, 11 a.m.–4 p.m.

A revised Spring 2021 registration schedule is now reflected in the Fall 2020 academic calendar and on the academic calendar webpage (see side-by-side date changes below).

Classes will now be held on campus through Wednesday, Nov. 25, shortening fall break (typically a full week), and all classes will continue remotely and/or online through the end of the semester. Many calendar dates have moved up accordingly, including the last day of classes (Dec. 8) and finals exams (Dec. 9–13).
