*President Hanbury announced the following updates in his email "Holiday Reminders and Updates for 2020-2021"
...As I announced this summer, in an effort to avoid unnecessary holiday travel back and forth to various NSU campuses, the last day for traditional, on-ground undergraduate classes will be Friday, Nov. 20. All classes, except those requiring clinical rotations, will conclude the fall semester remotely...In addition, in an effort to eliminate unnecessary travel, we will be suspending spring break this year. In lieu of a full spring break, there will be no classes on Friday, March 5, 2021 (note: some programs may need to alter this date based on testing requirements), and we will end the winter/spring semester one week early on Sunday, April 25, 2021.
