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.

As part of our initiative called Curious Cornhuskers, an anonymous reader asked, âAre there any updates on the Pass/No Pass policy for the fall 2020 semester?â Last week, the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska passed a resolution advocating the university to adopt an alternative Pass/No Pass policy for the fall semester, similar to the spring 2020 semester.

The University of Nebraska-Lincolnâs Faculty Senate approved a resolution on Dec. 1 encouraging faculty to consider curricular adjustments for the spring 2021 semester. Both the Faculty Senate and the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska have been advocating for changes to help the UNL community amid the continued pandemic, though the two differ in their approaches. The Faculty Senate resolution stated that eliminating breaks and condensing curricula in the fall semester led to heightened stress for both students and faculty in the fall semester. The semester was shortened in the fall, removing breaks to discourage travel. The spring semester schedule was similarly compressed in October, eliminating spring break and beginning instead on Jan. 25. ....
