Academics and Library

Back to FA20 opening plan 

The Office of Academic Administration (OAA) continues to work with the COVID-19 Response Team along with other University departments to ensure that we can safely accommodate face-to-face instruction this fall. Guidelines, strategies, and protocols are being put in place to ensure appropriate physical distancing, sanitation, and overall health of students and faculty. Information and links to resources in this area will be added in the coming weeks. If you have special circumstances, you can review and request possible allowances in the accommodation section.

Classroom & Labs

In general, classrooms will remain in their standard arrangements for seating and instruction. However, face-coverings will be required. Please familiarize yourself with NGU’s approach to face-coverings.

Library

The library will be open to the NGU community and visitors during the Fall 2020 semester. Please check our Hester Memorial Library website for the most up to date hours of operation. Here are some things to know before you visit the library:
