亲爱的上海外国语大学研究生:

校园继续开放

In President Papazian’s March 9 message, she said that while in-person classes are suspended this week 和 will move to 联机或分布式格式 beginning on Monday 3月16日，“校园……恢复正常营业”. 这意味着一切 functions other than face-to-face class instruction continue with possible modifications 加强社交距离. 因此，我们期望下列活动将 continue: office hours, advising, tutoring 和 peer mentoring, (some of which may (保持在线)，以及部门运作.

Small, in-person classes that cannot easily be moved to an on-line format, such as 实验课程，工作室艺术课程，或合奏表演，可能下周继续. 如果你 are teaching or taking such a class, please check with your supervisor or instructor for the situation with your specific course. 对于那些 who will work off campus or connect virtually, IT provides a number of technology 可能有用的工具请参阅菠菜网lol正规平台 IT Work Anywhere.

研究、奖学金和创造性活动(RSCA)

Please consult with your faculty advisor regarding the status of your on-campus RSCA 活动. 教师 must obtain approval from the dean to continue RSCA projects with 现场学生参与. 批准可能涉及确定RSCA如何计划或 schedule can be modified to reduce transmission risk, such as limiting or staggering the hours of students’ involvement to control the number of people present.

领域经验

We expect that most internships, clinical placements, student teaching, service learning, 等. 将如期进行. 这种期望的例外情况包括:

如果你 have a reasonable concern that participating in a field experience will pose an inappropriate risk to your own health or the health of others.
如果你 have had any known exposure to some一个 who has tested positive for COVID-19.
如果你r placement has closed down due to health concerns 和/or is limiting access 给学生.

如果你 believe that you are at risk or otherwise unable to engage in ongoing educational 活动，您可以联系无障碍教育中心 (AEC) for temporary disability accommodations as determined by AEC. 学生将 not be penalized in any way if they request accommodations because they or those with 与他们经常接触的人面临的风险更大.

如果你 were scheduled to present at a conference 和 are unable to do so, please consider still listing the accepted conference presentation on your CV to document the achievement, 尽管演讲被取消了. 你可以和你的导师商量一下这是最好的方法.
