I hope you all are doing well and staying safe. We have heard of a couple instances where people are changing the instruction mode on their summer 2020 classes to web due to COVID-19. At this time, there has been no official word from the University about changing the way we are offering our summer classes. Changing a class to an instruction mode of web could impact a student's ability to receive grants, all the necessary funding through the GI Bill®, and could impact our sponsored students.
Please do not change the instruction mode of your classes to web for COVID-19 for summer 2020. If the University decides to change the way we are offering our classes for the summer, there will need to be discussions about instruction modes with the Office of Student Aid and with the Office of Veterans Programs so that we do not negatively impact our students. We will update you as we know more.
