The coronavirus pandemic has prompted Arizona State University to shorten its fall semester, with any instruction during the remaining week after the Thanksgiving break to be conducted virtually. Provost Mark Searle also said Friday in an email citing “current health circumstances” that the December commencement would be conducted virtually. The fall semester will end December 4, with the previously scheduled December 7-12 week for final exams canceled. Instead, finals will proceed during the week of November 30 to December 4.
