Travel plans and classes

<p>Hi again. Does anyone else know if it's common for professors to cancel classes prior to fall or Thanksgiving break? I'm trying to make travel plans for both, but D has several afternoon classes on Wednesdays that last until 4:15. Any advice is appreciated.</p>

<p>dont expect any breaks from profs before the fall break.there are no classes scheduled on the Wed before Thanksgiving (look for the Academic calendar on the USC website ) what you should be concerned about is cancellations for the Tuesday of Thanksgiving week! Be aware its a big time for tests/papers.It might be easiest, if possible, to schedule a flight (if thats whats needed) for Tuesday evening of Thanksgiving week. Fall break,kids tend to stay around unless they are local.The dorms don't close for those 4 days (really,its only two days plus the weekend).</p>

<p>There are no classes that Wednesday before Thanksgiving. As cathymee said I wouldn't miss class on that Monday or Tuesday though, the university has a policy that no tests/quizzes etc.. can be given a certain number of class periods before finals(depending on how many days a week the class meets), so those days tend to have some major tests/quizzes scheduled as well as the week you get back from Thanksgiving.</p>
