The Vancouver Senate has approved a schedule alteration for Thursday, Oct 12, 2023, designating it as a “Make-up Monday” in response to a calendar imbalance that disproportionately affected Monday classes due to statutory holidays (full details here on pages 29-31).
Regularly scheduled classes for Thursday, Oct 12, are canceled and replaced by those usually held on Mondays
(view UBC announcement here).
Key actions for instructors:
If your course is scheduled on a Monday or a Thursday, please highlight this schedule change in your course syllabus with the message below:
“Important: Thursday, Oct 12, 2023, has been designated as a “Make-up Monday” for the Term 1 academic schedule. Classes scheduled for Thursday, Oct 12, are cancelled, and will be replaced by the classes normally scheduled on a Monday. This includes our course.”
Add this if your course is scheduled on a Monday:
“Please ensure you plan to attend our Monday class at its regular time and location on Thursday, Oct 12.”
Add this if your course is scheduled on a Thursday:
“Please note that our Thursday, Oct 12 class is cancelled.”
Please avoid scheduling midterm examinations or other assessments on Make-up Monday, Oct 12.
If you have questions about the logistics of Make-up Monday, please contact Scheduling Services at
