Wacker says the goal is to make sure students continue to receive their education and that professors are finalizing the method each class will be delivered.  She adds students can expect to hear from professors no later than Thursday, March 19 with instructions for how to access courses.  

If students are in an online course already, their class will be suspended for next week. For students in clinical, practicums or internships, faculty advisors will be in touch with you on how to proceed. University officials are working in consultation with Stearns County public health officials and the Minnesota Department of Health as they make decisions relating to COVID-19.
