Spring 2021

As we look to 2021, new solutions combined with current approaches to managing the challenges of COVID-19 will hopefully bring about steady normalization. The Spring semester will start as planned on January 13, 2021.

Classes

This Spring semester, students will have more instructional choices including increased face-to-face interaction. Access to large venues in the LSC, expanded testing and advanced air filtration will enable us to hold fully face-to-face instruction for a number of freshman and sophomore classes. Registration for Spring 2021 is open now through January 25, 2021.

By staying committed to the health and safety of our community and following guidelines for social distancing, mask wearing and hand washing, we anticipate a Spring semester filled with more exciting events that will provide additional opportunities for meaningful social interactions.
