I want to get a campus job this fall semester, how is student employment operating throughout the fall?

Student workers who leave or who choose to remain on campus have remote employment options. Students with an available sick time balance will be paid for work interrupted by the COVID-19 crisis. Sick time balance inquiries should be directed to the Student Employment Office.

What are best practices and resources for taking care of myself while being in accordance with “social distancing” protocol?

Create and stick to a routine which includes showering, getting ready for the day, spending some time outside and some type of physical movement. While the demands of classes will be a new challenge, make sure you also make time for connecting virtually with friends regularly.
