Abstract
ABSTRACT This teaching case aims to analyze the context of the Federal University of Paraíba, which experiences the impacts of social isolation due to COVID-19, especially in conducting undergraduate classes, considering that the activities face-to-face were suspended. The case presents the facts related to the possibility of implementing a supplementary calendar, based on the concept of remote emergency teaching. Because of this scenario, the Pro-Rectory of Graduation managers needed to plan carefully to manage the uncertainties and resistance to changes that such a proposal would represent, mainly because there were no models to be based on since practically all public HEIs have suspended graduation classes. The case raises a significant dilemma: in the face of the challenges of implementing a supplementary remote calendar, is it better to follow or step back? The pedagogical objectives of this teaching case involve: analyzing the impact of COVID-19 on organizational behavior; discuss aspects related to the implementation of organizational changes; identify the use of data for decision-making and support for organizational change; and making decisions in the face of managerial dilemmas. Its analysis can be done by undergraduate students, in Administration and Public Management courses.

Summary
Our Calendar Stopped! The Organizational Change at UFPB due to COVID-19 e-ISSN: 1982-7849. A UFPB, instituição autárquica de regime de ensino, pesquisa e extensão, vinculada ao Ministério da Educação (MEC), desenvolveu uma estrutura multicampi, com atividades disseminadas em quatro campi instalados nas cidades de João Pessoa, Areia, Bananeiras e Litoral Norte (Rio Tinto e Mamanguape), organizados em 16 centros que comportam 120 cursos de graduação, 80 programas de pósgraduação, 2.700 docentes, 37.000 discentes e 3.522 técnicosadministrativos. Ariane entendeu que o grupo com o qual a PRG deveria iniciar as conversações e ampliar o conhecimento sobre as possibilidades de execução desse calendário remoto era o fórum composto pelos 16 assessores de graduação dos centros da UFPB, com os quais sua equipe se reunia todas as segundas-feiras, desde 2013. Nessas discussões era possível compreender gradativamente como se posicionava cada centro, como poderia haver a aceitação de um calendário com um modelo alternativo nunca feito antes na UFPB, e quais ações poderiam ser empreendidas, dadas as idiossincrasias de cada curso
