New Academic Plan Due for SUNY Delhi
In response to the rapidly changing COVID-19 situation and the announcement that Delaware County has declared a state of emergency, SUNY Delhi has developed an updated comprehensive plan. These updates will minimize our population density and maximize social distancing on our campus and assist students with completing their coursework this semester.
Effective immediately, SUNY Delhi will implement the following schedule.
Today, Sunday, March 15 - Sunday, March 29: Two-week spring break
During this time, there will be no instruction and students may leave campus to go home at any time. Once students leave, they cannot return until April 19. However, no student will be required to leave campus. Any student staying must notify their Resident Director or the Office of Residence Life before 5:00 p.m. on Monday, March 16. Before leaving for Spring Break, all students are reminded to take their personal items, textbooks, and instructional materials, including a device that will allow them to connect to the internet. Please remember to take your medications, personal hygiene items, and other personal belongings you will need for the next five weeks.
Monday, March 30 - Friday, April 17: ONLINE instruction ONLY
Details for online instruction will be emailed to students by their instructors.
Sunday, April 19
Residence halls will open at noon. Students will return to SUNY Delhi for in-person instruction for the remainder of the semester.
Monday, April 20 - Friday, May 8: In-person instruction on the SUNY Delhi campus
Students will complete coursework and/or lab instruction on-campus to meet course and certification requirements.
Monday, May 11- Friday, May 15: Finals week
Students will make up course requirements or to take finals to complete the semester.
Saturday, May 16: Commencement
The commencement is still being planned, but we will send an update if a cancelation or any changes are necessary in accordance with directives from SUNY or the Department of Health.
Please watch for FAQs on our website for more detailed information on the new schedule.
The COVID-19 situation requires all of us to remain flexible. Information may change on a daily basis, requiring us to amend this schedule. Please continue to monitor your email and the SUNY Delhi webpage for the most up-to-date information.
At this time, the campus will remain open and fully staffed.
Thank you,
Dr. Michael R. Laliberte
President
