Dear Faculty Members, Sessional Instructors, and Practicum Advisors,
Following today’s announcement from Dr. Rob Gordon and Dr. Patti Weir (https://www.uwindsor.ca/returntocampus/476/important-announcement-winter-2022-semester), we wish to provide additional clarity about the winter semester for the Faculty of Education.
B.Ed. Courses
For all pre-service students in the first or second year of their B.Ed. program (Concurrent year 3 and 5/ Consecutive Year 1 and 2) the start date for classes remains as originally planned: Monday, January 3, 2022. The last day of classes also remains the same, March 11, 2022, and there is no change to the scheduled reading week break (February 21-25) or practicum calendar. However, all B.Ed. courses, including those scheduled as face-to-face, will now begin the winter semester as online classes.
In consultation with local health authorities, we will plan for face-to-face courses to begin when it is safe to do so. We will provide at least two weeks advance notice regarding the return to face-to-face delivery for these courses, but the earliest date for a return will be January 31st, 2022, consistent with the University of Windsor plan.
All concurrent students in the undergraduate years of their concurrent program will begin on January 17, 2022 and follow the revised schedule determined by the University. This applies to Education courses EDUC 1199, EDUC 2299, and EDUC 3399, which will be delivered online for the duration of the winter semester.
MOLT Courses
All MOLT courses scheduled for the Winter 2022 semester will be delivered as online courses for the duration of the semester. The revised start date for the winter semester is January 17 and the revised last day of classes is April 18. There is no change to the scheduled reading week break (February 21-25).
Graduate Courses
All graduate courses scheduled for the Winter 2022 semester, including those planned for face-to-face delivery, will now begin the semester as online classes.
The revised start date for the winter semester is January 17 and the revised last day of classes is April 18. There is no change to the scheduled reading week break (February 21-25).
In consultation with local health authorities, we will plan for face-to-face courses to begin when it is safe to do so. We will provide at least two weeks advance notice regarding the return to face-to-face delivery for these courses, but the earliest date for a return will be January 31st, 2022, consistent with the University of Windsor plan.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as the University of Windsor navigates the complex context of the pandemic with a priority on health and safety.
