Dear CAS employees,

If you are an instructor of record for one or more courses this winter term, please carefully read the message from the Provost below.  The Provost has a short survey for you to provide information on your plans for your final exam(s) next week so the university can plan for various contingencies in light of the evolving coronavirus situation:

Colleagues -



As you know, on the advice of public health authorities, the UO campus is open and operating as usual. However, we also recognize that we must plan for other contingencies, and we’re requesting information from instructors now regarding final exams for winter term, so that we can be of help should the university need to cancel in-class meetings next week.  Obviously we don’t want to alarm anyone and, at this point, are intending to proceed with exams as scheduled. However, in order to support faculty and students, we need to have plans in place should conditions change.



To facilitate planning efforts we have developed a survey for faculty to fill out with important information regarding their plans for finals. Please send the link below to your faculty to complete by no later than 8 am, Wednesday, March 11th. It is critical that all faculty provide information. The survey is short and will not take significant time to complete. This will allow us to deploy resources efficiently based on needs to minimize disruptions for completion of finals.

Please don’t hesitate to contact the Office of the Provost if we can answer any questions or provide additional information. Thank you to you and your teams for your support.

Provost and Senior Vice President
