The University has identified several spots on campus to serve as dedicated spaces where students can attend online classes. Please be courteous to your peers, use headphones, and follow other best practices to maintain a good learning environment for all.
Please refer to our Student Learning Spaces map if you are unsure where these buildings are located. We've also enhanced Wi-Fi connectivity across campus in recent months, with nearly 100 new access points. There are many places on campus with access to electrical outlets where you can likely sit in on a class virtually, but be sure to test your connectivity in advance (and don't forget a charging cable!). Students are also free to grab any picnic table, bench, open room, or sit on the grass in front of any building—the campus is open to you!
All campus departments are open for in-person student support, though some services continue to be offered virtually. Check department websites for the most up-to-date information on how to access their services. (Note: some offices have limited hours during the summer and will resume normal business hours August 16.)
The US government has provided emergency funding to colleges and universities through the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. A significant portion was allocated specifically for emergency financial aid grants to students, in addition to assisting with the institutional costs of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The University has distributed more than $24 million in direct grants to students through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act.
