Post-Thanksgiving Updates

Tuesday, November 10, 2020 

Miners,

We decided early in the fall semester that we would not have in-person classes after Thanksgiving. At that time, all courses will continue remotely, and University departments and services will operate virtually throughout the rest of the semester. However, we will have some buildings and services still available on campus during the time between Thanksgiving break and the end of final exams. Here is some information that may be helpful:

Fall Semester Final Exams
Final exams will be taken online with very few exceptions. Finals will be offered either asynchronously or during the regularly scheduled finals period for that particular class. Faculty members will be in touch with their students about their finals schedule.
