We will hopefully know more by the end of May as to what physical distancing guidelines (if any) and classroom capacities will be for the fall according to MDH and University guidelines. If there are changes that need to be made to classes, the Class Setup Guide is available to help make transitional changes to classes.
We still will not be assigning general purpose classrooms to fall 2021 classes until July 2021. We will be communicating with students and instructors when classrooms have been assigned.
Instruction modalities and ECAS updates
At this time, per the Provost’s message on March 12, instructors will still be required to get approval from their unit heads to change their class format from In-Person to a Remote or Online offering. Course updates will be required in ECAS by July 1, 2021 (if not already approved for online offerings) for Remote and Online offerings but may be scheduled in CCS with provisional approval. This is both for undergraduate (UGRD) and graduate (GRAD) classes.
Note: This ECAS approval requirement had been waived in the last few semesters due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but will now be required again with our move toward normal operations.
