CSUN as One: Returning to Fully Virtual Learning
To the Campus Community,
When we made our plans for this fall, the health and safety of our students, faculty, staff and visitors were at the forefront of every decision. I am so thankful and proud of all that you have done together as a dedicated community of learners —
CSUN as One. However, we planned for contingencies should circumstances change. With COVID-19 cases surging across the region and anticipated to worsen significantly over the holidays, out of an abundance of caution we have made the decision to pivot back to fully virtual learning to protect the health of individuals currently coming to campus.
