Dear Students,
As we approach the July 4th weekend, we wanted to wish you and your families a safe and wonderful holiday! Our campuses will be closed on Monday, July 5th, 2021 in observance of the July 4th holiday weekend. On Campus Classes will reconvene on Tuesday, July 6th, 2021 per normal schedules.
In addition, the return to campus policy is still in effect as outlined below:
All students attending on campus are required to complete a COVID-19 Pandemic Social Contract. Your actions play an integral role in your health and safety, as well as others while on campus. We appreciate you doing your part in ensuring the following are adhered to while on campus to help prevent the spread of the virus:
- Wear a facemask as required
- Respect personal space and practice social distancing
- Practice good hygiene that includes frequent handwashing
- Be aware of mitigating surface contact with doors, railings, and other high contact areas
- Complete a self-assessment each day before I come to campus
- Self-monitor daily. If I exhibit COVID-19 symptoms, stay home, and inform the University
We will no longer be requiring temperature checks upon entering the building. We will be revisiting these policies as we move into the fall and upon further guidance provided by the both the CDC and the United States Department of Education.
Have a wonderful holiday as we celebrate our nation’s birthday!

Dear Students,
We hope your July term is starting off well!
We wanted to thank all of you who participated in our return to campus survey. We appreciated your feedback. For the past several months our team has been diligently working on our plan to re-open ground campuses for the fall schedule. We have been preparing the EU campus facilities for reopening and taking the appropriate measures to ensure social distancing guidelines per the CDC requirements as well as state and local requirements are in place prior to your returning to campus.
We are planning for adjusted on-site schedules which will include hybrid and limited class sizes for the fall, August 31, 2020 term. Students should contact their academic advisors for more information. Ground campus students who wish to remain online will also have that option.
Anyone on campus must observe social distancing and wear a face mask. All individuals permitted on campus are required to have a daily temperature check and those exceeding CDC guidelines will need to seek appropriate health care support. Additionally per CDC guidelines frequent thorough hand washing and or the use of hand sanitizer are recommended. These measures are crucial to help prevent the spread of the virus.
In closing should you need additional assistance or if you or your family have been impacted by COVID 19 please contact your campus. Our team is here to support you as we navigate this situation.
Have an excellent July term!
All the best,
