EDUCATIONAL PLAN

FALL 2020

We are excited to welcome our students back onto campus this fall, and are committed to keeping our entire community safe while continuing our delivery of high-quality education.

To allow students the flexibility and safety they need during this time, the majority of courses will be held remotely, either synchronously (at set times) or asynchronously (on their own schedules).

Most lecture-based classes will be held remotely, with a few hybrid or on-campus options available in some programs. As allowed by local health authorities, the majority of the lab sections will be held on campus, with proper physical distancing and cleaning protocols. Clinicals and practicums in healthcare will be offered at the clinical sites, and will follow each site’s protocols. Student support services are available fall term and will be provided remotely.
