WHAT IS The UNEXPECTED?
Fall 2020 at ONU
ONU will adopt an Early Start Early Finish academic calendar for fall semester. This revised calendar is one way in which the University is following guidance from the CDC regarding the coronavirus. ONU will conclude all fall semester in-person instruction prior to Thanksgiving, before the flu season ramps up. Additionally, this calendar eliminates breaks during the fall semester when students may incur additional risk of infection due to departing campus to many destinations and returning to campus after a short time away.
