A variety of circumstances, outside of a pandemic, might require students to temporarily take classes remotely (online) with minimal notice: a severe weather event, a family emergency requiring your presence elsewhere, etc. This guide provides you with actions to take when making that shift quickly, and resources to support the online learning transition.
Key Guidelines
- Get the latest on COVID-19 protocols for learning at the campus' COVID-19 website.
- Remain in regular contact with your professors and TAs. Whether via email or in Canvas (or formerly, Moodle), they need to hear from you.
- Review your syllabus as needed to accommodate changes.
- If you have disability accommodations, please contact your professors to assure the accessibility of your online course.
- If you are going through additional stress, remember that the Student Assistance Center is here for you.
