Mississippi University for Women has modified the Spring 2021 Academic Calendar to the reduce spread of COVID-19 associated with travel.
The W will continue with a predominantly online course structure. Classes will begin Monday, Jan. 11 and end Friday, April 23. The Spring Break Holiday was canceled to lessen the spread of COVID-19 from travel, resulting in a shorter semester.
“The response of our campus throughout this pandemic has been incredible. We believe continued vigilance combined with a de-densified campus is the best strategy to sustain the health and safety of our campus community,” said Scott Tollison, provost and vice president of academic affairs.
