According to tweets from the university’s official Twitter account, lasses will begin one week earlier, on a remote basis.
Classes with an in-person component will start the following week.
Finals will be held by Thanksgiving.
The university says shifting and compressing the fall schedule will reduce travel that can increase the spread of COVID-19.
