  • All Women’s College fall courses will be hybrid to allow faculty flexibility in combining in-classroom lectures with online instruction. This helps us maintain social distancing requirements on campus while still insuring effective student learning experiences.
     
  • In-person classes will begin August 24, 2020 and continue until November 24, 2020. After Thanksgiving classes will be completed virtually and will end December 3, 2020. Exams are scheduled for December 4-10. By completing in-class instruction before Thanksgiving, and completing course work and exams virtually, we reduce the likelihood of students returning to campus after exposure to COVID-19 while off campus. Class schedules will reflect new dates in WebAdvisor by July 15.
     
  • Adult Undergraduate, ABSN, and School of Pharmacy schedules remain as usual with no changes planned at this time. Please see the Academic Calendar.

  • Work study awards may be used as follows: 50% in the fall semester and 50% in the spring semester. Remote work opportunities may be available on a case by case basis.
