From an email just sent out by Wendy Wintersteen. This is part of that message.
Dear Iowa State Community,
In order to assist all faculty, staff, and students with planning for the current academic year, we want to provide the timeline for the spring semester and information about an optional online winter term, which will feature a targeted selection of courses.
Spring semester starts Monday, January 25. We received approval from the Board of Regents to change our start date for the spring semester. Spring classes will start January 25, two weeks later than planned. There will be no spring break; classes will be held the week of March 15-19.
Spring semester ends Thursday, May 6. The spring semester, including final exams, will end as originally scheduled on May 6.
Course delivery. Like the fall, spring courses will be offered in four delivery modes: face-to-face, online, hybrid, and arranged. Classrooms and lecture halls will continue to have limited capacity. Our objective is to provide in-person learning, particularly for experiential courses, labs, and studios, while also providing flexibility for students and instructors who are more comfortable with virtual classes.
Online winter term option. We are planning for an optional five-week online winter term, featuring a targeted selection of courses, beginning December 14, and ending January 21. The addition of winter classes will offer students a way to work ahead in meeting their graduation requirements. Additional information about the online winter term, including class schedules, will be made available in the coming weeks.
