Austin Peay State University has made changes to its fall semester calendar due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A news release says in-person and online classes will still begin on August 24 and classes also will meet on October 12-13—previously designated as Austin Peay’s fall break.
The semester’s last day of face-to-face instruction will be Wednesday, November 25. After the Thanksgiving holiday, the university will transition fully to remote learning for the semester’s final assignments and exams.
The University will remain open and completely operational as normal until the end of the semester on December 11. This will allow students their normal access to academic buildings, the library, student services and other programs during this time.
These changes do not apply to the Fall I or Fall II terms at Austin Peay’s Fort Campbell Center.
Officials say by eliminating fall break and the November 25 holiday, the university will not lose any days of potential face-to-face instruction for the fall semester.
