COVID-19 Transition to Remote Teaching
We are continuing to monitor information from oversight agencies regarding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and prevention efforts. To maintain continuity of operations, and assure the continuation of quality instruction several resources for students and faculty are now available on the uthct.edu website under “Resources.”
Current Guidance for Instruction During COVID-19:
- Faculty members teaching a class this semester should reach out to students and make them aware of any adjustments being made and provide an updated syllabus if necessary.
- University-related faculty and student travel must be approved by emailing .
- Students should notify faculty members of any course-related questions or concerns.
