Will there be a Spring Break at Your place?

.  Spring semester starts and ends on the same days originally scheduled, but spring break days are scattered around the calendar.  Contrary to rumor that it would all be midweek days, it spreads the days off and includes Monday and Friday.

I'm just not sure that scattering spring break days around the calendar is going to be a good idea, as previously noted.  In fact I am pretty sure it is a bad idea.

When possibility of cancelling spring break came up in last faculty senate meeting, the provost said we could take off a M, T, W, Th, and F during semester, keeping same number of class meeting hours. Decision is expected before Thanksgiving.

Trigger pulled.  Spring break is not just one day off (a Wednesday in mid March).

We will start a week late, and end at the original time.

This week the trigger was pulled here also: no spring break at all, semester begins a week later than originally scheduled, final exams the last week of April.

One of the other universities in our area has decided to cancel Spring Break. They held out on that decision for quite a while.

[Nightshade]

Nope! No Spring Break here.

[Harlow2]

Not here either

[OneMoreYear]

Most major universities and colleges in our area have cancelled Spring break in favor of either a late start, early semester ending, or "mini-breaks."  Our week-long Spring break is still on the calendar for mid-semester.

Nor here.

Thanks for bumping. I think I've already mentioned on some other thread that after brief doubt, we are staying with traditional spring schedule including a week long break in March. I expect soaring infection rate for April Fool's Day.

Yep. We have a week long Spring Break scheduled as well.

It was decided today that we would push the start of the winter term back one week.

Most of my colleagues seem a little put out, which I don't really understand. For those with exams at the end of the exam period, that means three weeks off instead of two. It's not that hard or annoying to fix the dates on the syllabus.

Maybe. Of course, it is also possible that vaccinations might be going out widely by then and could make a real difference. I guess it won't be too big a deal for me since I'm on a TR schedule, but it sort of sucks to be taking away what could be the first safe chance lots of people might have to visit family-depending of course on vaccine news and individual circumstances...

Spring break is on but classes are still nearly 100% online (we are a commuter school).

We finally got the news that our Winter term classes would online with very, very few exceptions.  No changes to the schedule yet, but we are on quarters and Spring Break is the "break" between Winter and Spring.  I'm assuming it will stay and classes will continue to be online in Spring.
