Hi everyone!
On Feb. 24, campus leadership announced that ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ plans to offer a majority of Fall 2021 classes in person. Today, the Provost announced that to allow time to update the schedule of classes, we have modified a few key fall registration dates. The Fall 2021 schedule of classes and students’ assigned enrollment dates will now be available on Monday, March 29 (postponed by 3 weeks), and fall registration will begin for degree-seeking continuing students, by assignment, on Monday, April 5 (postponed by 1 week). Registration for readmitted students and new graduate students is unchanged and will begin on Monday, April 26, and registration for incoming first-year undergraduate students will begin in July, by appointment.
In support of these modifications regarding Fall 2021, we are making the following adjustments to access and Campus Solutions:Ìý
-
Update access in Campus Solutions will remain open until 11:59 p.m. on March 22.
-
Room capacities in Campus Solutions will be updated by our staff beginning Monday, March 1 (today) through Thursday, March 4.
-
In-person classes will need to have the seat capacities re-evaluated and adjustments made as appropriate.
-
Batch rooming will occur in May.
Within the next few days, once updated classroom capacities have been finalized, the Academic Instruction Implementation group, led by Senior Vice Provost Katherine Eggert, will distribute guidance to deans, chairs and directors on evaluating Fall 2021 classes for a return to in-person instruction. To make it possible to room all in-person classes, Academic Scheduling will retain control of classrooms, and colleges, schools, departments and programs should plan to fully utilize the entire teaching schedule, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–9 p.m., for class scheduling.
Thank you all for your patience and collaboration.
