How will the academic calendar change for fall 2020?

Answer

Per Dean Baucom's email to all faculty on July 8, please see details for the Fall 2020 semester academic calendar below.

  • Undergraduate courses will begin on schedule on Tuesday, August 25, 2020. 
  • There will be no Fall Reading Days. 
  • For all students in Arts & Sciences (undergraduate and graduate), the last day of classes will be Tuesday, November 24, 2020 (the Tuesday before Thanksgiving).  
  • Exam Reading Days will be Monday, November 30 and Tuesday, December 1, 2020.  
  • Exams will begin on Wednesday, December 2, 2020 and end on Friday, December 11, 2020.  
  • After Thanksgiving, there will be no in-person activities—all exams and other final assessment activities need to be held online.  
  • The Associate Deans and I expect to hear more information soon about the revised examination schedule from Laura Hawthorne, Associate Vice Provost and University Registrar, and we will share timely updates.
