On campus spaces for remote participation

There are many learning spaces on campus where students can participate in remote classes.  The СÀ¶ÊÓƵ , , and individual schools offer a range of spaces for students on both a drop-in and booking basis.

Melville Hall has been modified specifically to make space available for students to participate in remote classes while they are on campus.  There are individual cubicles as well as group spaces in a warm environment, with good wifi access. Students will be able to use their own ear buds or headphones and talk quietly while they participate in remotely delivered classes.
