Important Update:
The university is operating at Level 2 for the first two weeks of classes for the spring 2022 semester.
For classes, this means faculty will have the discretion to choose a fully remote format, hybrid format or fully in-person format. Masks will be mandatory the first two weeks for in-person classes, with faculty offering a plan for students unable to attend in person. These changes begin for classes Jan.12.
