MSU announces early start to fall semester
From MSU News Service
MONTANA – Montana State University announced that it will begin its fall semester two weeks early to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The fall semester will begin Monday, Aug. 17, and end Wednesday, Nov. 25, shifting the semester’s course load ahead by the same two-week period.
The change takes advantage of better weather earlier in the year and situates classes more squarely in a period when experts expect lower rates of COVID-19 cases, said MSU President Waded Cruzado.
