The spring semester will start a week later than originally planned.
(Highland Heights, Ky.) – Northern Kentucky University is delaying the start of the spring semester due to COVID-19 concerns.
President Ashish Vaidya announced today that the start of classes for spring will be delayed by one week to Tuesday, January 18.
“Current regional case information is eye-opening, with record infections of 120 per 100,000 per day and higher throughout Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati,” said Vaidya. “The regional transmission rate has risen to 1.3, which is also as high as we have seen.”
To account for the lost week, final exams will take place the week after commencement, and the summer session will be adjusted.
The university will open today but move-in day is being delayed until Friday, January 14.
For the initial two weeks after the January 18 start, President Vaidya is recommending faculty include fewer in-person activities in their classes. However, there will be no prohibition against in-person classes.
