Dear Class,
This doesn't affect us as we are already working virtually... but just in case you have other classes, I wanted you to see this... Just received a minute ago...
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Dear Student,
Governors in the Northeast and
local officials are urging colleges and universities to transition to online
learning following the Thanksgiving holiday.
Additionally, we are witnessing the rise in the number of COVID cases
throughout the state. Albertus Magnus
College therefore has determined it is wise for all on-campus classes in the
Division of Professional and Graduate Studies to move to fully online
instruction for the remainder of Mod 2 effective Monday, November 30, 2020.
Please review the following
information:
Q. What will happen to my on-campus class?
Any class that was meeting
on-campus will now be switched to a virtual format. Your professor will provide a link, so you
may continue to meet at the same time each week through a synchronous online
class session. Popular video
conferencing tools that may be used are Google Meet or BlueJeans. If you have questions about finding the link
to access your online class session, please contact your instructor.
Q. When will this take effect?
Classes will continue to meet
on-campus on Monday, November 23rd and Tuesday, November 24th. The virtual class sessions will begin after
Thanksgiving on Monday, November 30th.
Q. When do classes end for Mod 2 or the fall
semester?
The last day of classes for Mod 2
or the fall semester in PGS is Thursday, December 17th. Please refer to your professor’s syllabus
about final class sessions, assignments, and deadlines.
Q. Is the College closed?
The College is open. However, all students must continue to adhere
to CDC guidelines while on-campus, which include the wearing of masks and
social distancing. Most offices require
that appointments are made in advance and use video conferencing. Please contact the office you wish to visit
before coming to campus.
Q. If I need access to a computer, where can I
go?
Computers will be available for use
at both New Haven and East Hartford campuses.
In New Haven, students may use an open computer in Rosary Hall or Bree
Common (near Starbucks). In East
Hartford, students may use an open computer by contacting the East Hartford
Office and making an appointment at 203-672-6790. The East Hartford campus will be closed to
visitors, but it will be available to students that make an appointment to use
a computer.
Q. Who should I call if I have other questions?
If you have other questions, please
contact the Division of Professional and Graduate Studies by phone at 203-773-8505
or email PGS@albertus.edu. Both the New Haven and East Hartford offices
will be closed to students and visitors due to social distancing
requirements. However, our admissions
counselors, academic advisors, and administration will be available for virtual
appointments throughout the week. To
make an appointment, please send an email to the desired person or contact our
main line. Email addresses are available
through our campus directory at https://www.albertus.edu/contact-us/webdir.php
Finally, as we continue through
this season of transition, please check your Albertus email regularly for
updates and communications from President Camille, your professors, our
division and other offices. Your safety is our priority, and we are committed
to addressing your questions and concerns during this final month before the
December/Christmas break.
Wishing all of you a very safe and blessed
Thanksgiving.
With appreciation,
Annette Bosley-Boyce
Dean, Division of Professional and
Graduate Studies
Albertus Magnus College
