As you know, four class days were lost due to hurricane Gustav. To maintain the integrity of classes and to ensure that all content is covered appropriately, the following adjustments have been made to the academic calendar.
We realize some of these changes may create conflicts. We have done our best to minimize the impact. Please review the dates carefully. Pay special attention to the ‘makeup days’ in December where classes will meet on a day different from their normal meeting day. We have added a new time slot for finals and there will be finals scheduled on Friday night.
If you have questions, please contact Teresa Seymour (XIKA2gsl@JSyc.edu).
