COVID-19 Update #4
Sunday, Mar 15, 2020
Spring Break is almost over, and the remainder of this semester will be like no other in the history of this university.
As of this update, the university will remain open, and all faculty and staff should report for work as normal.
For our students, however, the situation is very different. Beginning Monday, March 16, all students will take classes via remote instruction for an initial two weeks. Many people across the university are working tirelessly to deliver the best possible level of instruction, tutoring, advising and guidance during this challenging time.
Many of our facilities and programs are closed, suspended or operating reduced hours — but many continue, such as our libraries, dining halls, student unions, and other facilities and services.
Of course, the safety of the entire FAU community is always our top priority. Rest assured the FAU Police Department and other public safety staff will continue to provide the exemplary level of service we are used to across all our campuses.
I am proud of all the efforts the faculty, staff and students are making to keep the university running during this uncertain time.
Please remember to regularly check our dedicated COVID-19 website that contains a wide array of information and resources to help you stay informed. And, most important of all, if you are feeling unwell, and especially if you are experiencing symptoms associated with COVID-19, please seek medical attention as soon as you can.
If you have questions, or if you are uncertain of the operating status of the university, please ask. Professors, staff, advisors, supervisors, and others are all available to help.
