The University announced the addition of three Saturday classes to the spring 2014 schedule to make up for days missed because of snowy weather earlier in the semester.
Feb. 15 will be used to make up missed Tuesday classes from Jan. 28; Feb. 22 will take the place of the Wednesday, Jan. 29 missed classes; and March 29 will replace the Friday, Jan. 21 classes.
Classes on those days had to be canceled as the University was hit by unusually icy, winter weather that caused roads and government offices to be shut down.
The University originally announced in an email sent out Jan. 29 it was looking to utilize Saturday classes so as not to cut into Mardi Gras and Spring Break holidays and potentially ruin students’ plans.
The make up days will be held at the same time and in the same location as regularly scheduled. The University said the Saturdays were selected based on campus activities for those days and a “need to hold the make-up days as soon as possible.”
