The Fall 2020 academic calendar is modified as follows:
The format of courses during the fall semester will vary with a mix of in-class, remote, and blended instruction. Some courses will have limited on-campus components. Students should use their Canvas calendars and other organization devices to stay abreast of physical and virtual meetings.
Regardless of the modality of teaching in place at the beginning of the semester, circumstances in the community and orders from St. Louis County may mandate a switch to distance learning at any time. Faculty are developing plans should this occur.
Tutoring and other academic support services will be available both in-person and remotely. Details will be available on the Kinkel Center for Student Success, Academic Advising and Engagement website.
According to the CDC, certain persons may have a higher risk for COVID-19 infection and may need temporary accommodations. An up-to-date list of risk factors is available here.

High-risk students should work with advisors to plan remote participation if possible. A list of remote courses can be found on GriffinNet.
