Southwestern College has announced a revised calendar for the upcoming Fall semester. The college will begin their semester early and finish before Thanksgiving, allowing for an extended winter break. According to Southwestern College President Brad Andrews , after reviewing the academic calendar, and considering scenarios to provide the highest probability of a healthy and full semester, the school will begin the academic semester one week early on Monday, August 10th, and then will complete that academic semester before Thanksgiving, with the last day of finals being Tuesday, November 24. Additionally, the college has removed Fall Break from the 2020 calendar and will hold classes on Labor Day. Staff at the college are planning a staged move-in and check-in process to bring students back to campus in a coordinated way to reduce contact. Residential students will have a scheduled date and time for move-in with options to arrange for drop-off their belongings ahead of time. The college has a team of staff and faculty serving on a COVID-19 Planning Team. The group has already implemented the Return to Campus Plan which allowed staff to return to work on campus June 1st. The group is now working to finish and implement the Return to School Plan which will outline the procedures and provisions for returning students to campus and for in-person instruction.
