Subj: New Academic Calendar for Spring 2021
Date: October 9, 2020
In light of continued challenges related to COVID-19, and at the recommendation of the Academic Council, comprised of faculty, students, and staff, I am pleased to approve the following revisions to the Spring 2021 calendar. Thanks to those who have helped in making the calendar modifications.
The modified calendar:
- Removes Spring Break from Spring 2021 calendar.
- Pushes the start of the semester back by 1 week to January 19th.
- Adds a single Reading Day in between President’s day and Good Friday. This was chosen to be Friday, March 12, 2021. No classes will be held.
- Changes the Spring Faculty Conference to Thursday, January 14th.
An announcement will be forthcoming later this month regarding the dates for on-campus housing move-in.
New Academic Calendar for Spring 2021 (*Note: Gonzaga Law School will communicate via its Dean's Office the Law School Spring 2021 Academic Calendar.)
