Thanksgiving Break All faculty are expected to hold classes as normally scheduled through Tuesday, November 24. The University will then shift all face-to-face and hybrid courses online after the Thanksgiving break (November 25-27). Classes scheduled for November 30 through December 2 will therefore be online. No classes will be held in any format on December 3-4; instead, these will be designated Reading Days in preparation for final exams. Final exams will remain the week of December 7-11 but will shift to online using the same format that worked effectively this past Spring. Grades will be due December 12. A virtual Commencement will also be held on December 12. Students will not be required to move out of residence halls as a result of these changes. All residential facilities will remain open, and the cafeteria will continue serving meals without interruption. Winter Sports: Subject to NCAA guidance, athletic teams with scheduled competition and/or approved practices (e.g., men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 basketball, wrestling, men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 swimming) will continue with those events as planned, presuming no COVID outbreaks that would justify any changes. Stay safe and be well, Bulldogs!
