In preparation for the completion of the spring 2020 semester, we have decided to extend students’ spring break on all campuses for an additional week (March 16-20). Classes will resume on Monday, March 23rd.
Faculty and staff (full and part-time) on all campuses have a one-day extension to spring break (March 16) and will report back to campus on March 17 (unless instructed by supervisor to report back to campus sooner) to prepare for the remainder of the semester. The extension will help us plan for service to students and to mitigate risk of exposure to COVID-19.

Texas A&M University Central Texas
Texas A&M University Central Texas canceling classes March 16-21
As The Texas A&M University System continues to monitor and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, its highest priority is that we work to provide a safe environment for students, faculty, and staff. To that end we have been directed by System to cancel all classes during the week of March 16-21, allowing us time to assess and, if possible, reduce the potential for the spreading of the virus to our campus while continuing to advance our students toward their educational goals.
One of our primary commitments next week will be to convert as many face-to-face classes and services as possible to an online format, implementing those classes and services beginning the week of March 23-27 as we resume existing online classes. We realize there will be some classes we cannot convert because of the nature of the class, such as a laboratory or practicum, or because of technical limitations. Those classes will continue in a face-to-face format with a limitation on size (32 students maximum) and a requirement that the instructional environment be configured to assure adequate social distancing that includes a six foot minimal separation between individuals
During the preparation of faculty who will be moving to an online format, there must continue to be a sensitivity to those students requiring academic accommodations. Dr. Donald Norman in the Office of Access and Inclusion will be available to provide assistance. In addition, we will need to assure sensitivity toward any students who might self-identify as going through a quarantine period, or who are under medical care and may need assistance in accessing Canvas.
More detail will be forthcoming specifically for faculty and students as we prepare during March 16-21 for the conversion of courses from face-to-face to online. Faculty teaching face-to-face classes will be expected to be present during the week to prepare for the transition, and we would certainly appreciate assistance from those who may be teaching only online classes. As for staff, all university offices will be open and functioning during that week, and staff, including student workers, are expected to maintain their normal work schedules. However, all events scheduled during the week will be canceled, and future events may potentially be canceled as well.
