This message is intended for all Academic Departmental Administrators, DEOs, Collegiate Admin, and Instructors teaching Summer 2020 courses on campus.
ACTION REQUIRED FOR 4-WEEK, 6-WEEK I, AND 12-WEEK SUMMER SUBSESSIONS
The Office of the Registrar reminds collegiate and departmental leadership that many of the summer courses published to MyUI reflect the original modality of in-person classroom experiences. University administration has directed that subsessions 4-week, 6-week I and 12-week, are scheduled to begin as planned on Tuesday, May 19, 2020, in online-only instruction. A decision related to the 8-week and 6-week II subsessions will be made later this spring. Because it is important for students to have up-to-date information as soon as possible, we are asking colleges/departments to review summer 4-week, 6-week I and 12-week sections before April 20th and make adjustments as appropriate.
Course Offerings
All approved course offerings will remain in MAUI as listed. Departments must review their summer 4-week, 6-week I and 12-week section offerings for the new online-only directive to determine instructional feasibility.
The 4-week; 6-week I; and 12-week sessions will remain as online-only for their full duration regardless if face-to-face instruction resumes for the 8-week and 6-week II sessions.
Off-cycle courses – If course start date begins prior to June 15 (start date of 8-week session), all sections remain online-only regardless if face-to-face instruction resumes for the 8-week and 6-week II sessions.
If section is canceled, departments follow a similar process created for COVID-19 on the Course Cancellation Best Practices web page.
If section remains, departments submit a revised workflow slip to the Office of the Registrar to modify their time/locations information to reflect their plan for student participation. This process will release the classroom/instructional space & building currently listed in MAUI/MyUI. For more information, see the Office of the Registrar COVID-19 instructions.
- (Synchronous plan) – Departments enter the class time/day of the group interactive meeting and location World Wide Web.
- If classroom/instructional space is required for live, synchronous group meeting events or lecture recordings, please contact the appropriate building scheduler to track classroom usage as done for COVID-19.
- (Asynchronous plan) – Departments enter class time as ARR and location as World Wide Web. This instruction occurs outside specific time constraints.
Departments are reminded that of the Registration Information field is a good way to convey any supplemental information to their enrolled and prospective students. We strongly encourage departments to provide students with as much information as possible so they can make informed decisions.
