CHSS is providing guidance on temporary remote instruction for faculty teaching face to face who are impacted by COVID, unable to teach face to face, but are still able to teach remotely:
The following spring 2022 guidance is for faculty
1) who have tested positive and cannot safely come to campus or
2) are otherwise severely impacted by COVID conditions in their home or classroom.
Those teaching undergraduate courses may switch to remote synchronous or asynchronous teaching for up to three classes for a TR or MWF class. For a once per week class, only one class may be switched to remote teaching. If conditions persist after these classes, the faculty member must work in consultation with department chair and/or the Dean’s Office as appropriate to seek the next steps.
For those teaching face to face graduate courses that meet once per week, the faculty member may, at their own discretion, switch one class to remote synchronous or asynchronous before working in consultation with department chair and/or the Dean’s Office as appropriate to seek the next steps.
Important notes:
- Please inform your department if you are utilizing temporary remote instruction.
- In the event you are ill and not able to teach, your department should have a “back up teaching plan” in place. Please contact your appropriate administrator to put that plan into effect.
- This is not a mechanism for permanent pivots from face to face classes to remote instruction. Those require chair and dean notification and the accomodation, adjustment, and modification (AAM) process through HR.
