Answer: When it is the first day of Fall Semester 2009 at Michigan State University!
Before you get too confused, let me explain that as the University reviews the Academic Calendar and shortens Fall Orientation (formally Welcome Week) a transition calendar needed to be approved so that necessary planning for the FS09-SS10 Academic Year.
The result is that classes will begin on Wednesday, September 2, 2009, but students and faculty will follow their Monday class schedule on this first day of class. Thursday and Friday of that week will have students and faculty following their Thursday and Friday schedules, respectively. This maintains an equal amount of contact hours for classes that meet only one day a week during Fall Semester 2009.
Here are the important dates:
So remember to follow your Monday class schedule on Wednesday, September 2, 2009.
Have a great summer!
