Current Status
Last Updated: 3/24/2021
JWU began the first day of classes on Tuesday, January 19, 2021. To accommodate this delayed start, the university has canceled spring break. Limited on-campus activities will be permitted with approval.
Following CDC guidelines, individuals on university property will be asked to practice physical distancing, wear masks and use hand sanitizers available in high traffic areas. Students and faculty must wear masks when on campuses for classes.
The following students were welcomed to campus for the spring semester:
- Students with classes that require a laboratory component
- Students on local internships
- Seniors who wish to come to campus
- New students, regardless of major (except Denver and North Miami)
- Returning first-year students who began classes this fall (except Denver and North Miami)
Students enrolled solely in lecture, non-lab academic classes will be taught remotely for the spring semester, as well as all graduate students (with the exception of those enrolled in Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, Occupational Therapy Doctorate, and Doctorate of Education in Educational Leadership programs).
Each day, all faculty, staff and students reporting to campus are required to screen their current health conditions by answering the daily COVID-19 Screening Questionnaire, which can be accessed in the JWU Mobile app, jwuLink, or HRpulse. If you receive a green check mark, you will be cleared to be on campus. Students should be prepared to present results from their daily COVID-19 Screening Questionnaire upon request. If a faculty or staff member receives a red check mark, they will need to consult their health care provider and notify their supervisor. Students who receive a red check mark will be asked to reach out Health Services to determine their next steps.
