Academic calendar changes for Twin Cities/Rochester

The Faculty Senate has approved moving spring break one week earlier, starting in March 2020, for the Twin Cities and Rochester campuses. This results in the final Monday of the first seven-week session falling after spring break. Syllabi may need to be reviewed due to this adjustment, so communicate these changes to your departments. As a reminder, spring 2019 for UMTC and UMR will change from 74 instructional days to 70. Fall and spring semesters will have the same length from then on. Full academic calendars for 2018-22 can be viewed on the University Senate page.
