Dear Students,
I hope this message finds you well. As we embrace the challenges and uncertainties that come with providing an enriching learning experience during these times, I want to emphasize our commitment to maintaining academic continuity for students enrolled in in-person programs on our campus.
I understand that many of you have had to leave the country due to the current situation. Students who are compelled to travel must submit a written request to the Student Affairs Office which assesses the case and then informs the Registrar’s Office which then emails the advisor, instructors, and the student. Despite the physical distance, it is crucial that we maintain the continuity of your learning and provide the support you need.
Here are some key points to consider:
While we hope for an uninterrupted academic experience on our campus, it is our collective responsibility to prepare for all scenarios and ensure that education continues without interruption. We are committed to providing support, resources, and guidance to both students and faculty during these challenging times.
Please reach out to department heads, deans, or the provost's office for any additional guidance or resources. Our commitment to academic continuity remains unwavering, and together, we can overcome any challenges that come our way.
Thank you for your dedication to education and your commitment to creating a safe and enriching learning environment for all.
