Dear Colleagues,
We have received many questions about make-up classes. Cancellations due to weather can cause a multitude of challenges for faculty, staff and students. Below are the University-approved options for making up your class time:
1. The University academic calendar located at: http://registrar.uconn.edu/calendar-for-spring-2015/ provides options for “emergency closing class make-up days.” Faculty can use the following dates to make up a missed class: Friday, February 13th; Saturday, February 21st; Friday, March 6th; Saturday, March 28th; and Saturday, April 18th. Instructors who plan to use any of these times to make up a class should consult with their students as soon as possible to avoid scheduling conflicts. Instructors should also reserve a classroom through the Registrar’s Office. The Registrar’s Office can be reached at 486-3329 or at Registrar@uconn.edu.
2. Faculty may also choose to cover missed course material using various hybrid and online options. These options can be done asynchronously at the convenience of both instructors and students, potentially preventing scheduling conflicts. For more information regarding this option, please contact the Institute for Teaching and learning at 486-6540 or visit: http://ITL.uconn.edu/a-flexible-teaching-option-for-overcoming-weather-challenges/.
It is critical that instructors work with their students to determine a make-up time that provides minimal conflict for students who may have work, family commitments, or other obligations that could adversely affect the students' ability to attend a make-up class in person.
Have a great week,
Lauren DiGrazia
University Registrar
