Academics

Last updated: August 27, 2020

Our mission is best accomplished through personal engagement between students and professors and students with their peers. We have put a plan in place for maintaining face-to-face instruction with a focus on maximum flexibility and the health of our students and faculty. We will continue to assess state guidelines and adapt our planning as needed.

What You Can Expect:

As many classes as possible have been moved to larger spaces to allow for distancing.
Facial coverings must be worn in all classrooms.
In the close confines of a lab setting, students and faculty must wear masks or face shields.
All academic spaces are cleaned regularly, and high-touch areas receive additional scheduled cleanings.
Faculty have cleaning supplies to wipe down tech carts in classrooms.
Acrylic shields have be added at the front of most classes where physical distancing is not possible.
For classrooms with two doors, signage directs entry and exit to avoid as much face-to-face traffic as possible.
Masks should be worn in hallways between classes.
The Centennial Library has be limited to 50% capacity.
In computer labs, masks are expected if distancing is not possible.
Cleaning supplies are be available for sanitization of equipment.

Building in Flexibility

Students who exhibit symptoms are expected to self-assess and should NOT attend class. They should notify their professors (as well as their RD) and follow the recommended process. Faculty members will prepare their face-to-face classes for remote access as needed. We are equipping classrooms with camera/microphone technology so that students can join the class and participate if they cannot return to campus or are ill and unable to attend class.
