Brandon University has asked their Senate to approve a delayed start to the Winter Term which was supposed to begin January 4, 2022. The University has also announced it will be moving to primarily remote learning until the end of January at the earliest.
If the delay is approved by the BU Senate, the school would still open as scheduled on January 4th, but classes would not start until the week after. The purpose of the delayed start is to help faculty make the shift to remote learning.
The BU Senate controls the academic calendar for the school and is expected to meet as soon as possible. Details will be shared with the BU community once the decision has been made.
Brandon University follows the University of Manitoba and the University of Winnipeg in their decisions to start the Winter Term remotely and reevaluate mid-January, once they have a better idea of the situation.
