When the Axis Shifts: Academic Calendar Changes and the Impact on Financial Aid
COVID-19 has brought many changes to college campuses – remote instruction; hybrid classes; masks on campus; new rules for dorms, dining halls and sports; and changes to the academic calendar. While the majority of changes required a large undertaking by multiple campus departments, the changes to the academic calendar create a number of challenges for those working in financial aid.
