As long as students are attending classes online and staff are working on campus, there will be the option to meet in person if you are feeling well. If you are not well and/or are not on campus, you will meet with staff via WebEx. Staff will send you a link with instructions for connecting via WebEx prior to the meeting. If you are not well and/or are not on campus and do not have access to the internet, then you will meet with staff via the phone. If staff are told to work remotely, meetings will be conducted via WebEx or phone.

As long as staff are working on campus, you can e-mail or call using the contact information found in e-mail signatures or on our About Us page on our website. If staff are told to work remotely, they will send out information about a Google Voice number that can be used to phone calls and text messages.
