Campus Alert Level Change to Yellow

On I am thankful that on Monday, February 1st, we were able to change the campus alert level from Orange to Yellow. This was due in large part to the low case numbers within the Northwestern community as a result of our shared commitment and efforts in upholding the mitigation protocols on campus. Thank you for your continued support and diligence in following the established guidance so we can remain on this positive trajectory!

Watching for Students Attending Virtually

Students approved for virtual attendance will be identified either in a morning email from Academic Achievement (for short term adjustments) or on the Academic Achievement Dashboard (for semester-long adjustments). If a student in your class is repeatedly attending virtually and is not on one of those two lists, they should be marked absent unless they are approved through Academic Achievement. To request approval for virtual attendance, students can complete the Application for Semester COVID Adjustments.  As a reminder, you can find the Academic Achievement Dashboard on the right panel of the Faculty & Advisors tab on theROCK.
