ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
CAMPUS INSTRUCTION This plan is for instruction of campus-based courses. Instructors and students need to be prepared for the possible transition to distance delivery, utilizing synchronous and asynchronous methods, for short- or long-term, as determined by local health conditions. • Small classes will proceed in a normal, face-to-face fashion (with spacing and face masks) for all class sessions. • Larger classes will be taught in a hybrid format, with students divided into groups. Each group will have face-to-face instruction in the classroom at least one day/week and remote synchronous instruction and/or asynchronous learning the remaining day(s) of the week. • Students should be available at all scheduled class times to view/ participate synchronously. • Students will be notified of the plan for each of their classes prior to the start of the fall semester. They will be allowed to adjust their schedules within the normal add/drop period, allowing for opportunity to drop courses due to format. • Masks/face coverings are required of everyone on campus when not in the privacy of their office or, in the case of the students, in their personal living quarters. Masks must be worn when in hallways, bathrooms, classrooms and visiting other offices. Off-Campus Learning Activities (e.g., education practica, nursing clinicals, internships, service learning) • Accredited programs need to follow external organizations’ decisions and protocols in conjunction with the College’s and local health authorities. If conducting the activities in the normal or slightly modified way (e.g., relocate to campus) can occur, it should. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS DELAYED DUE TO TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS • Students who will be delayed due to travel restrictions must notify and consult with Thomas Merlot (International Office). • Once the country allows travel, students have a 9 day window to arrive on campus. • Students on F1 visa must be on campus no later than 9/16/2020, regardless of travel bans. • All students arriving after the first day of classes will need to check- in with Thomas Merlot (International Office). • Students who are delayed due to travel restrictions will be expected to attend all classes synchronously and, upon arrival, make up any missed work which must be done while physically present (e.g., lab activities). • If the country is open to travel the student cannot just choose to arrive late. They must be on campus and attending classes by the last day to drop/add.
