SPA is on its way

Remember, Student Progress Assessments are coming up Tuesday, March 30–Wednesday, March 31. This is a mandatory portfolio evaluation for sophomores (as well as some juniors and seniors), and all undergraduate classes, including evening classes, will be canceled on these dates.

COVID-19 testing

Students regularly accessing campus are required to take a COVID-19 PCR test (an oral rinse) on Sunday, March 21 or Monday, March 22, following spring break. If you are required to participate in this testing program, you received an email in mid-February from Dean of Students and Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Athena Sanders on behalf of CCAD’s Testing Management Team.

We're temporarily going remote

Next week, Monday, March 22–Friday, March 26, will be completely remote for all classes—even for hybrid courses—so that CCAD can complete its mandatory COVID-19 testing program. Hybrid courses will begin their post-spring break in-person component the week of Monday, April 5; CCAD will resume its weekly, random sample testing Monday, April 12.

Let's talk housing

Current students with housing questions are invited to join staff from CCAD Residence Life & Housing for a conversation via Zoom at 11 a.m. (EDT) Thursday, March 25. Returning students who wish to live on campus must apply to do so by 5 p.m. (EDT) Friday March 26.
