Spring 2021 Updates
|
| The new Spring 2021 Academic Calendar was announced on September 14, 2020 (https://forwardtogether.uni.edu/spring-calendar-updates); thus, the Spring 2021 GA process was adjusted accordingly. Additionally, the option to attend J-Terms (Winter Terms) has been extended to graduate students. |
The 3-week terms will be held in December, right after fall classes end, and in January, before spring classes begin. The 6-week term will be split between December and January, with a short break in the middle for holidays, and will focus on courses that may help students progress to graduation. Winter term classes will be part of students’ spring course load in terms of credit hours, tuition and billing. The dates for the winter calendar are as follows:
- 3 week - Nov. 30 to December 18 (up to 3 credits only)
- 3 week - January 4 to January 22 (up to 3 credits only)
- 6 week - Nov. 30 to January 22 (with two week break from Dec.21 to Jan. 1) (up to 6 credits only)
