COVID-19 Updates

Programs and operations during the COVID-19 pandemic

With the move to remote instruction for spring quarter 2020 to protect the health of our community while mitigating the effects of COVID-19, the CIRCLE Office is closed until further notice.

For the latest information on UW’s response to COVID-19, please visit uw.edu/coronavirus.


CIRCLE maintains its strong commitment to supporting international and domestic students through these unprecedented times. As such, we have carefully designed virtual programs to keep students informed, engaged, and connected to the global Husky Experience. We are also still available to reach via email: uwcircle@uw.edu

In the Loop Podcast: CIRCLE will be releasing a weekly podcast aimed at connecting students with the UW community. In the Loop will feature guests from in and around UW, including VP for Student Life Dr. Denzil Suite, Hall Health counselors, Academic Advisors, a UW improv comedy student group and others. You can find each podcast in the News Section, or by searching “UW CIRCLE In the Loop” wherever you find your podcasts.

CIRCLE Chats: To replace our open office hours, CIRCLE is offering regularly-scheduled Zoom Chats to connect with a CIRCLE staff member. This is a good opportunity to get up-to-date information from campus and Seattle, and to stay connected with the CIRCLE community. These chats will take place Tuesday-Thursday, 8am-11am; Monday and Tuesday 5pm-8pm. Find the Zoom links and more information on our Facebook Page.

Peer Success Coaching: We are continuing to provide success coaching to students in 45-minute virtual sessions. Our success coach is equipped to support students in all academic and personal domains, including virtual learning. To schedule an appointment or learn more, visit here.

Let’s Talk: CIRCLE will continue to partner with the UW Counseling Center and Hall Health to offer Let’s talk. For more information on how to connect with a counselor, go here.
