<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">A decision was made today to continue with the

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In order to accommodate the different needs and situations of our students and faculty, exams do not have to be held in-person through Winter 2022. If a student or committee would like to hold an exam in person,
they must follow the current campus safety guidelines. This temporary policy allows for of any of the following scenarios: all members in-person, a hybrid of in-person and remote, or all remote.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The remote participation policy will be reviewed again in January 2022. If you have any feedback, feel free to let me know your preference for in-person, online, or suggest another alternatives.
