UAB COVID-19 Update: Fall Semester Schedule- June 16, 2020

UAB students, faculty and staff,
Our gradual re-entry to campus continues and is going well, as is our planning with the University of Alabama System for a safe return this fall with a hybrid model – a course delivery system which, because of social distancing precautions, requires a combination of both in-person instruction and remote instruction. To promote the health and safety of the campus community, adjustments have been made to the fall semester schedule:
- Fall semester hybrid classes will start Monday, Aug. 24, 2020.
- Fall semester hybrid classes will end Friday, Nov. 20, for the Thanksgiving break.
- Students will not return to campus after Thanksgiving break.
- Exceptions can be granted for students based on work, research or clinical responsibilities, and accommodations can be requested for international students or others who do not have alternate living arrangements.
- Classes during the week of Nov. 30-Dec. 4, as well as final exams during the week of Dec. 7-11, will be conducted remotely.
- Coursework engagement during these weeks is necessary to accommodate SACSCOC accrediting standard requirements for credit granted for coursework.
Additional information for our phased re-entry to campus (including details about on-campus housing, classroom protocols, personal protective equipment, and COVID-19 training and testing) continue to be worked out and will be communicated in the coming days and weeks. UAB’s e-newsletters are your source of official information. To stay informed of the latest news and updates, students are encouraged read Greenmail each Wednesday, and faculty and staff are encouraged to read eReporter each Tuesday and Friday. We will also continue to update uab.edu/coronavirusand uab.edu/reentry.
In the meantime, please continue to be an example in our community by following important COVID-19 safety guidelines.
Go Blazers,

If a student wishes to do eLearning mostly will that be an option for those off campus?
Going along with someone else's post here: how can students purchase parking passes beginning July 1st when they don't even know what dorm they will be living in? Or even if they are going to get university housing...see more
When we will find out their dorm assignment so we can purchase parking permit?
Is there any way to watch the Housing And Dining webinar?
We have a question on parking : why are we paying full price for parking if our students are not going to be on campus full time with hybrid classes? Will there not be discounted pricing for this?
