Fall course delivery update | Additional Virtual Town Hall scheduled for students and families

This message is being sent as a follow-up to President Gilbert’s message from July 29.

Fall Course Delivery

We are still working to update all course schedules to reflect changes in delivery format. No later than this Friday, Aug. 7, all students will be able to log into their MyMU accounts to view the delivery format for all courses on their fall schedules.

Fall courses will be offered in the following formats or some combination thereof:

• Face-to-Face, meaning a traditional classroom experience (although with reduced classroom occupancy and required face coverings);
• Virtual, meaning class sessions held live via Blackboard and peripheral software, with instructors broadcasting lectures and leading classroom discussions at the specified class meeting day and time. (Sessions are recorded so students who do not have reliable access to broadband and/or other technical difficulties can watch the class at another time.); and
• Online, meaning with no live/real-time class meetings. Course assignments, notes, group chats and discussions are posted on Blackboard and can be accessed at the student’s convenience.

Virtual Town Hall

An additional Virtual Town Hall meeting has been scheduled to give students and families the opportunity to learn more about fall course delivery and to ask questions. The Town Hall is scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, Aug. 5, from 6-8 p.m. To attend, please register here.
