<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">We made the decision to "shorten" our fall and spring semesters. We still have 15 weeks, we just moved everything forward two weeks. We will end the fall semester just before Thanksgiving and
start spring on January 25th (this might be flexible). We won't have a fall break or a spring break. We will offer two winter sessions this year for online courses. One in December and one in January.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">As long as there aren't more than 45 days between semesters, the break and student loans should be fine. We adjusted our loan periods/academic year. Luckily, the decision was made before July
1 so we were able to re-adjust everything in COD and Colleague before loans went out. We had to go in and adjust any summer aid periods because we are ending summer earlier than we had planned so we don't have crossover loan periods. Summer ends August 12
and fall begins August 13.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
Our executive team is looking at the possibility of a revised fall calendar in light of coronavirus, but before making a decision they want to know the financial aid implications of making those changes. I know a lot of other institutions are looking at changes
for the fall as well. Can anyone whose university has made this decision offer light on any pitfalls that this may cause or specific things to check or be aware of? I know that we will have to change our loan period dates and disbursement dates for aid. Specifically
I'm wondering about things like having a longer break between payment periods (this would create a longer than normal break between fall and spring) or things of this nature. Any advise on things I should research or be aware of would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
