SFU students, staff to get Olympic break

Simon Fraser University will take a two-week break from classes in February 2010 to accommodate the Winter Olympics. The break from Feb. 15-26 was approved Monday by SFU’s Senate.

SFU officials noted transit services are expected to be hard-pressed to keep pace with Olympic demand and students could have trouble getting to classes. They said the time off will also give students, faculty and staff the chance to volunteer at the Games. The Winter Olympics run Feb. 12-28, 2010, followed by the 2010 Paralymic Games.

  2. click on view my grades (beside your schedule)
  3. The Official Grade is your mark.
