Midnight Study Break Presents: A year in the making

Midnight Study Break

This Aztec Nights has been a year in the making!

Join us for a trip down memory lane as we revisit our favorite quarantine hobbies. You’ll get your grub on with breakfast and dessert as we explore some 2020 food trends, unleash your inner plant parent, revisit your old Animal Crossing island, and explore some escape rooms!

There are tons of opportunities to win prizes throughout the night by entering our opportunity drawing, so throw on your nostalgia glasses (blue light, of course) and get in on the fun!

The May 8 Midnight Study Break is the last event on the jam-packed Aztec Nights spring semester slate. Hop on the Zoom and enjoy a little bit of fun before the final stretch of the school year.

SDSU Commencement

SDSU Commencement Includes In-Person Option at Petco Park

Congratulations 2020 and 2021 grads! Commencement is back with in-person ceremonies at Petco Park on May 25-27 for the San Diego campus — with a livestream. Graduates must be registered to attend. The campus also will have a virtual Commencement option.

The SDSU Imperial Valley Campus will have a drive-through “CARmencement” at the Calexico campus. The class of 2021 will have its ceremony on May 17, and the class of 2020 will have its ceremony on May 18.

Visit the SDSU Commencement website for more information.

In-Person Classes to be Held in the Fall

Great news, Aztecs!

SDSU is planning for instruction and activities to be primarily held in-person this fall, with a majority of faculty and staff returning to campus along with students.

The campus announcement came after Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the state’s plan to fully reopen on June 15 if vaccine supply remains sufficient for Californians 16 years and older and if hospitalization rates are stable and low.

Mask-wearing will still be required in the fall.

Publication of the fall 2021 course schedule will move to May 10 from April 12 and fall registration will open on May 25, rather than April 19, in order to accommodate the change.

Continue to monitor the SDSU Flex website and the Office of the Registrar for more updates about the reopening plan.
