Undergraduate academic advising
As we start a spring quarter unlike any other, I want to give the virtual floor to the ASUW and GPSS leaders who represent our students across our campuses. I am so grateful for their leadership over the past month, and I thank all students for the strength, goodwill and flexibility they continue to demonstrate as we move, together, into a fully remote learning environment. I’d also like to thank our faculty and staff, who have been working tirelessly to ensure that we have a successful spring quarter.
We’re all in this together. Stay safe, and best wishes for a great quarter.
Impact of new COVID-19 measures on UW operations
The Governor’s “Stay Home – Stay Healthy” directive includes additional, important requirements, and while at the University of Washington, we are already operating with many of these rules in place, the new order does require additional efforts to ensure that our region’s efforts to “flatten the curve” are successful.
New state guidance will inform spring quarter instruction and operations
Today Governor Jay Inslee announced new measures requiring the University of Washington, and all higher education institutions in the state, to discontinue in-person instruction on our campuses through April 24.
Thank you for your strength and resilience as we prepare for what’s next
Thank you to our community for all the ways they are working to keep us safe, calm and prepared to weather the COVID-19 outbreak. We expect to announce a decision about whether we will begin spring quarter with classes offered in person or remotely by March 20.
To keep our community healthy, beginning March 9, classes will not be held in person
Starting Monday, March 9, classes will no longer be meeting in person. For the remainder of the quarter, instructors are asked to conduct classes and/or exams remotely, as possible, until the quarter concludes on March 20.
