MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT: Weekly Fall 2021 Face-to-Face Class Updates – September 30

Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,

Today I write to inform you that we will continue with our efforts to reduce classroom density (in-class attendance) for face-to-face classes an additional week through October 8. As a reminder, these efforts include the following:

• For classes that meet once a week, half of the students may be assigned to attend in-class while the other half learn either synchronously or asynchronously. The following week the students will rotate.
• For classes that meet twice a week, half of the students may be assigned to attend in-class on the first meeting day while the other half learn either synchronously or asynchronously. On the next meeting day, the students will rotate.
• For classes that meet three times a week, one-third of the students may be assigned to attend in-class on the first meeting day while the other two-thirds learn either synchronously or asynchronously. On the second meeting day, the next one-third of the class may be assigned to attend in-class while the other two-thirds learn either synchronously or asynchronously. On the third meeting day, the remaining one-third of the class may be assigned to attend in-class while the other two-thirds learn either synchronously or asynchronously.
• Assignment of the students will be at the faculty’s discretion and they will notify students of their in-class schedule before the first day of the new week. This also applies to the small number of classes that meet four days per week.

These modifications to our face-to-face courses will continue on a week-by-week basis. I will provide an update in the middle of next week to inform everyone of any changes to our current plans, including whether we will resume regular in-person classroom instruction.

Again, thank you for all you have done as we work to keep our campus community and the greater Houston area safe.

Sincerely,
Ira K. Blake, Ph.D.
President
