Remote Instruction/Online Learning

As per the Dean's Message, we hope to have a Fall Term that mixes smaller, in-person seminars, tutorials, labs, and experiential learning opportunities with larger online and remote classes and lectures. To enable every one of our students to carry out their Fall semester with stability and safety, we are promising a remote access guarantee. This means we will ensure that all academic requirements can be met remotely, including final exams.
