Students with lab or clinical requirements will receive additional communication from Dr. Jim Wilson, our Vice President of Academic Affairs. We will determine whether to resume in-person and hybrid classes no later than April 17.
The University will close, all locations, effective Tuesday, March 17, 2020, through Sunday, March 29, 2020. Although we will be closed, all University business will continue to be conducted remotely. Students may still communicate with faculty, staff, or service departments electronically as we shift to working remotely at this time.. Email all issues including connecting or accessing the Internet to helpdesk@wilmu.edu.

There is no posted end date, as this may be re-visited at a later date. Please see the link for faculty resources on our coronavirus website (www.fdu.edu/coronavirus) and note that the Provost will be providing more information and updates on that site in the future.
Georgian Court University -
GCU will continue to follow the RCSJ-Cumberland schedule and will begin online instruction immediately following the two-week spring break ending 3/28 through the rest of the semester. Courses will continue through our blackboard system with unchanged timeslots for virtual office hours replacing scheduled in person hours for current students. Field Work requirements remain in place with students continuing at agency work sites as determined by each agency and GCU providing alternative work in the event of agency disruption/ closure.
All in-person activities for non-students are suspended for the spring semester. New program inquiries and/ or follow up from Cumberland offices should be emailed to mtuohy@georgian.edu and will be answered and/ or forwarded to appropriate GCU offices. Follow up will be email, phone, or video conferencing on a case by case basis.

No office hours to meet in person with students will be offered until further notice, however, Diane will continue to respond to everyone, as has always been my practice, in a prompt and timely manner.
The University partners will continue to monitor daily updates regarding the pandemic, and communication will be sent no later than Friday, March 27, 2020, if plans to reopen University offices have changed.
We understand the stress and anxiety this situation has placed on our entire College and University community, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we strive to keep everyone as healthy and safe as possible.
