U of L has announced that the spring 2021 semester will include an extended Christmas break and shorter spring break. The announcement came as part of the university’s Pivot to Spring plan.
Spring break, which typically includes an entire week off school, has shortened to include only March 4 and 5.
The start of classes is also being pushed back. Spring 2021 courses won’t begin until Jan. 11.
The change comes amidst universities across the country either shortening or eliminating college spring breaks for fears of students traveling, breaking COVID-19 guidelines and returning to their campus with the coronavirus.
