According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Louisiana Department of Health, the transmission rate of COVID-19 remains high in the Acadiana region and throughout the state. In an effort to protect the health and safety of students and employees, the University will continue to deliver a number of in-person classes remotely through Friday, Feb. 4. Students should check Moodle and confirm any course delivery changes with their faculty members.
In-person student organization events, including meetings, socials, and service projects, will be allowed on and off campus provided masks are worn and proper social distancing can be maintained.
Supervisors of University offices and departments where social distancing is not easily maintained may consider utilizing alternate work arrangements as needed through Friday, Feb. 4. The Office of Human Resources must approve alternate work arrangements.
