TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — Florida A&M University notified students Thursday afternoon that Spring Break 2021 is canceled.
FAMU said the move is in an effort to keep students and staff safe and healthy.
Under the new plan, the Spring semester will begin on January 6, 2021, the first three days of which will be taught remotely.
As a result of canceling Spring Break the Spring semester will now end on April 23, 2021.
The letter reads as follows:
"As a result of the impact of the global pandemic and the need to safeguard the health and safety of students, faculty and staff, Florida A&M University has modified the academic calendar for the Spring 2021 semester. Spring Break has been canceled.
The first day of class is January 6, 2021. For the first three days, instruction will be conducted remotely.
The Spring semester will end Friday, April 23, 2021, a week earlier than originally planned without impacting the number of instructional days. Please see the detailed Academic Calendar on the Registrar’s website.
