The University of Nebraska-Lincoln will have a two-week interim session prior to the beginning of the spring 2022 semester. This two-week session comes after UNL held two three-week sessions during the winter break of the 2020-21 academic year â one right after the fall semester and the other right before the spring semester. Leslie Reed, UNLâs public affairs director, said the three-week sessions over the winter break were due to COVID-19 precautions. University administrators wanted to limit travel during the winter, which led to an eight-week break. In addition, they wanted to offer students the ability to take advantage during that downtime through the interim sessions, Reed said.Â
