The University released a revised Spring 2021 academic calendar in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the semester started a week later than originally planned and does not include a week-long Spring Break, two “Wellness Wednesdays” were scheduled to provide students with some relief from their weekly class routine during the semester. No classes or exams will be held on Wellness Wednesdays (March 3 and April 14). However, in order to comply with federal requirements, this class time must be made up through additional out-of-class assignments or asynchronous1 instruction. In rare cases, some courses may need to make up the time through synchronous2 instruction because specific equipment or facilities are needed, or because of external accreditation requirements. In these cases, the make-up course must be held on the specified Saturday (Feb. 20 for March 3; March 20 for April 14) and at the same time of day as the course typically occurs. Each course instructor will indicate how the Wellness Wednesdays will be made up on the course syllabus/schedule. 1Asynchronous instruction is when the course instructor provides students with recorded lectures or other course activities that the student can participate in on their own time. 2Synchronous instruction is when the course instructor and the students are meeting at the same time.Spring 2021 “Wellness Wednesdays”
