UPEI adds teaching days to end of semester
At a regular meeting of Senate on February 13, 2015, a motion was passed by a majority vote to extend the number of teaching days in the current semester (January-May 2015) due to recent storm/weather closures.
As a result, please note:
• Classes will now end on Tuesday, April 14, 2015 (instead of Wednesday, April 8, 2015) providing instructors with 4 additional teaching days if needed: Thursday, April 9; Friday, April 10; Monday, April 13; and Tuesday, April 14.
• Instructors have the option of using these additional teaching days or not, but must communicate their plan for end of semester classes to their students by email or through Moodle.
• The exam period will now take place from Friday, April 17, 2015 to Friday, April 24, 2015 (instead of April 13 to 23). A final exam schedule will be produced and distributed by Friday, February 20, 2015.
• Course grades for fourth-year students must be submitted to the Registrar's Office by noon on Saturday, April 25, 2015.
For more information, contact the Office of the Registrar at registrar@upei.ca or (902) 566-0439. Amended academic calendar dates (as approved by Senate) are listed below for reference.
