Monday, Feb 15 is the first day of the spring 2021 semester. All courses will begin online for that first full week, during the quarantine period. Then starting Monday, Feb 22 all courses that are scheduled to be on campus, in-person/hybrid, will begin their meeting in person, while those that are scheduled as fully online will continue to be fully online for the remainder of the semester.
While it is difficult to predict the future course of the pandemic, we are modeling alternative spring term calendars should that be decided/necessary. One of those models could incorporate remaining online past Feb 22, should the need arise. As always, students will be notified should any changes be made to the current spring 2021 calendar. Regardless of the scenario in which we may find ourselves, faculty and academic support staff will be ready to provide a great St. Olaf education.
