Wrapping up the Fall Semester
Congratulations on finishing another semester of school! It is almost time for a well-deserved break. We hope that you take time over the break to rest and re-charge.
After the commencement ceremony on Friday, December 12th, faculty will likely be unavailable until close to the start of the spring semester. Just a reminder, spring classes are set to start on January 12th. Should you need something between graduation and the start of the spring semester, please reach out to the Department Chair.
If you are looking to get a head start on the Spring semester, faculty are not expected to have syllabi for spring classes ready until just before the spring semester begins. Please keep in mind that they are currently busy finishing their grading of the fall semester. If you'd like to take a look at syllabi from last spring, please visit this page.
