SIUE Summer Planning

To the University Community,
Several weeks ago, the University made the decision to move courses with start dates in May or June to online formats. We have decided to transition the vast majority of on- ground courses offered in the second five weeks (July start date) of summer session to an online or remote learning format. Assuming that the area is in Phase IV of the Restore Illinois plan, the University plans to offer a small number of face-to-face courses during this term. These courses will pilot many of the new approaches and protocols that will be more widely deployed during the fall 2020 semester.
As it relates to limitations on gatherings, we have also made the decision to extend our cancellation of all University on-ground summer events, camps and conferences through Saturday, Aug. 8. This applies to University-sponsored events held on or off campus, as well as those that take place in University facilities on the Alton, Edwardsville, and East St. Louis campuses and includes gatherings of small to large groups of people.
The health and safety of our students, faculty, staff and the community in which we live must be our top priority. We continue to develop on-ground and virtual delivery of campus events for fall in compliance with the expectations outlined in the Restore Illinois plan.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we navigate our way through these complex times.
Be well and stay healthy,
Randy Pembrook, Chancellor
Denise Cobb, Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
Rachel Stack, Vice Chancellor for University Advancement
Rich Walker, Vice Chancellor for Administration
Jeffrey Waple, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
