Dear Students,
We have entered unchartered territory as we cope with a difficult new reality for us all. Our commitment and focus remain your safety and well-being followed by the continuity of your education.
Most classes will shift to an online or other remote delivery format on Monday, March 16. If you are able, make sure that you have the equipment and connectivity you need to learn from home. As we navigate these challenges, we want to make sure we provide good information and recommendations moving forward.
Points of Contact
Your classroom instructor remains your primary point of contact for all things related to your specific courses. Please email them directly with any questions about your course.
Academic advisors will be able to assist with questions you may have about changes in your academic schedule and class format during this time of transition. You can find your academic advisor’s name by going to wright.edu/advising and following the instructions in the “Find Your Primary Advisor” section. Alternatives to face-to-face advising are available.
Events
All official university events, receptions, gatherings, and student activities are suspended until further notice. As the situation changes, we will provide frequent updates as events are rescheduled and/or canceled definitively.
Services
Many campus resources remain open for use and will be accessible in some format. These include Dunbar Library, the Student Union, the Student Success Center (tutoring, writing lab, and math lab).Please be prepared to have virtual and/or phone meeting for some services. Some services, like tutoring, which rely heavily on your student peers, are in flux as they reconfigure resources.
