Winter Quarter Instruction Updates
"Given the spread of Omicron, many students, staff, and faculty are likely to need to isolate for a period of time at some point in January. After consultation with our Academic Senate and members of the faculty, our deans and administrative colleagues, our students, our staff, and campus medical experts, and on the recommendation of the COVID-19 Working and Planning groups, we have decided to allow continued remote instruction for two additional weeks. Between January 18, 2022, and January 31, 2022, instructors may continue to offer instruction remotely or choose to teach in person, and students who choose to remain off campus or who must isolate or quarantine following COVID-19 protocols will be provided with reasonable opportunities to participate remotely in any in-person class."
