Frequently Asked Questions on the Transition to Online Learning:
1. I plan to graduate this semester; how does this closure impact my graduate date/status?
You will need to call or email your counselor to complete the petition. It should not impact you as long as you complete your graduation/major requirements and as long as you complete your courses with C's or better.
2. I had an appointment next week to do a comprehensive educational plan. Is this canceled, or can I meet virtually?
Counselors will be working from home. They can complete most of the plan by phone, email or Zoom, but you might need to come in when campus is open again to review and update it with your academic counselor.
