Monday Classes to Meet on Wednesday Next Week

Brenna Belasco • April 1, 2026

On Wednesday, April 8, the university will be following a Monday class schedule.

According to the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Academic Excellence, Mark Ligas, classes need to meet at least 13 times during a semester.

During the Spring semester, Mondays get “hit the hardest” because of the constant academic breaks, meaning that classes held on Mondays get less class time.

To compensate for that, those classes tend to meet on Tuesdays after a break, but this year’s Easter Break is an exception.

“While we are traditionally able to afford at least one Tuesday to make up for the President’s Day holiday, there were not enough ‘extra’ Tuesdays this spring semester, so we had to use a Wednesday,” Ligas told The Mirror.
