There should be no required deadlines or assignments for students March 8-14. * Midterm grades will be due March 18, and final grades will be due May 19. The deadline for faculty to enter grades on each of those dates is 2 p.m. * For the first 8-week session, the last day of classes will be March 18; final exams will be held March 19. * The second 8-week session will remain unchanged, as will the May minimester in the Summer 2021 calendar.
