University of La Verne administrators have reevaluated their plan to move January interterm to May, and will no longer be moving forward with the change that had been set for the 2025-26 academic year.
Starting in the 2025-26 school year, the University’s January Term will move to the new May Term. This change – approved by the Board of Trustees in May – which students and faculty members have protested in the past, has not been formally announced to students and faculty.
University of La Verne faculty and administrators are considering moving January interterm to a May term for the “benefit” of students, among other reasons. However, moving the academic term to May will only create more difficulties down the line for traditional undergraduate students and their scheduling for graduation.
The University of La Verne could move to a 17-week semester with two 8-week terms embedded beginning Fall 2021, following a Faculty Senate vote Monday in support of the change.
