ºÚÁÏÍø

On Wednesday, Jan. 22, for all ºÚÁÏÍø campuses except the College of Podiatric Medicine (CPM), in-person classes held before noon will not meet in person due to the extreme wind chill forecasted in our area. These classes may meet online. Instructors who teach in person have the option to conduct a synchronous online session – and recording those sessions to make them available for students not able to connect – and/or assigning appropriate asynchronous work. Before the class is scheduled to begin, instructors will alert students by email or Canvas about the expectations for their participation during the morning in-person class closure.

After checking their email and Canvas, students who need additional guidance should contact their instructor. Students in special classes, such as clinical rotations, should check with their instructor or placement supervisor on the appropriate procedures for the morning.

For online classes: All classes offered online will continue as usual.

For staff: Staff are to report as scheduled. All campuses will be open.
