FALL PLANNING UPDATES

State mandates university employees wear facial coverings in fall

The state of Ohio mandates that all university employees must wear facial coverings while on campus, and we ask that you wear a mask that fully covers your nose, mouth and chin anytime you are in public. 

Extended move-in schedule

The on-campus move-in schedule will be spread out over a longer span of time to ensure the health and safety of our community. Residents will receive an email with your scheduled date and time. New times can be requested through Housing Self Service.

Study away programs canceled

OHIO canceled all fall and winter break international and domestic study abroad/study away programs for 2020. Students directly affected by the cancellation of an OHIO program will receive a full refund of any expenses paid to date.

Bobcats urged to keep community safe

Jenny Hall-Jones released a statement urging Bobcats to take personal responsibility for actions and inactions that have major implications on the health and safety of the communities in which you live.

Your input regarding plans for reopening in the fall are valued! Submitted points will be considered by leadership and others involved with reopening plans.
