Dear Faculty,
Happy New Year!
Tuskegee University continues to monitor conditions surrounding the pandemic, the spread of the omicron variant, and the pandemic's effects on the reopening of classes for the spring term. Classes will begin as scheduled on January 6, 2022, and will be virtual (synchronous) only. Face-to-face and hybrid courses will resume on January 31, 2022.
Faculty MUST communicate with their classes that the instruction will be virtual until Jan 31st. Therefore they need to provide a Zoom or similar meeting platform link and instructions by Wednesday, January 5, 2022, at 12:00 noon CST.
As the University monitors and adjusts to the spread of the Omicron variant, it is important that the quality of instruction continues at the highest possible level with regard to student learning. It is expected that classes will begin on January 6, 2022, and all faculty must adhere to the instructor's responsibilities for each course. In this regard, it is critical to report class attendance, provide sufficient advising, and implement the appropriate instructional modality to accommodate optimal learning for each course.
On-campus testing will be available to faculty and staff through Student Health Services according to the following schedule:
Monday, January 3
1:15 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Tuesday, January 4
1:15 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Wednesday, January 5
9:00 a.m. - 11:00 am and 1:15 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Thank you for your cooperation.
