The next academic year will begin on Aug. 26, 2019, a week later than usual.
The move approved by the Faculty Senate in October will keep the winter break and full academic year from being a week longer than usual. The full faculty approved the change in calendar at the December faculty meeting, followed by the president approving the change.
The Spring 2020 semester will not be affected by the change.
