COVID-19 Academic Planning Committee
The Provost's Office is leading efforts to plan and provide guidance for faculty and staff about instruction and advising in the context of COVID-19. The group meets weekly and considers issues across University of Connecticut campuses, such as optimizing classroom and course capacity within social distancing guidelines and remote instructional needs; behavioral strategies; and intersections between academics and residential life, research, informational technology, and more.
