Academic Calendar

Summer courses will be taught remotely. As the summer progresses, exceptions to holding courses on campus may be made on a case-by-case basis if we receive guidance from local health officials that welcoming you back to campus is safe. Classes that are labeled “on-line” are not impacted by this.
