1. Align policies to maintain a 65% reduction in interpersonal interactions compared to pre-COVID |
All student services will be open and accessible for students in staggered business hours during the Fall 2020 quarter. Services will be provided virtually, whenever possible.

Plexiglass, separators, and sneeze guards have been installed, where necessary.
The fall quarter will include a combination of face-to-face and remote online instruction. Faculty and students should plan and prepare themselves for a blended approach to instruction, as well as for the potential return to remote instruction, should a need arise due to COVID-19.
Getting started:
Classes will begin on Monday, September 14. Classes will end on Friday, November 20.
Final exams will be held on Monday, November 23 through Wednesday, November 25, 2020. Note: this is a change in the academic calendar. Students no longer have the week of Thanksgiving off for break.
