Memorial Day/Summer Sessions

Beginning this spring, Summer Session I classes will not be held on Memorial Day, which is a holiday recognized by the University.

Losing this day of classes will require summer school instructors to make some adjustments in scheduling; most probably will decide to hold the missed class on a Friday, a day when summer school classes normally are not held.

A revised, three-year academic calendar will be published in Almanac this semester.
