Coronavirus Response and Information
We have all watched with concern as the COVID-19 pandemic has made a significant impact to our state and nation. We are charting new territory as we respond to the rapidly-evolving public health crisis and our highest priority must be the health and safety of our students, faculty, staff, and communities.
Relying on guidance from national, state, and local health authorities about how to slow the spread of the virus, we have made the decision to move to remote and online instruction through the end of summer semester for all our campuses and locations.
