We sincerely hope we will be able to host commencement ceremonies as scheduled in May, but we will make a final decision based on the best information available at the time.

We will review the situation again starting April 13 and see how to best move forward. This includes the main campus and all regional campuses as well as FPU-sponsored events at offsite locations. If practices and workouts do eventually resume they will be voluntary and student-athletes will be able to opt out of any team activity with no penalty to their status on the team or their athletic scholarship.Īll events between March 16 and April 12 where 50 people or more are expected are to be rescheduled or cancelled. Facilities will remain open on campus for students to utilize at their regularly scheduled hours. Athletes are encouraged to contact their head coach for specific information.Įffective immediately, all practices, workouts and team activities are canceled through March 22 and will be reassessed after that date. The FPU Department of Athletics has been informed by the PacWest Conference that all athletic contests are suspended until at least March 30, and the WWPA has cancelled the remaineder of the 2020 season. We will continue to carefully monitor this ever-changing situation and remain in contact with health experts and our peers at other area institutions of higher learning.įor the most up-to-date information from FPU on the COVID-19 situation, please visit /coronavirus. It was this rising tide of legitimate concern in the area and our desire to act with an abundance of caution that brought us to taking these steps. While there are, as of Friday morning, March 13, three cases of diagnosed COVID-19-one each in Fresno, Madera and Tulare counties-in the area served by our campuses, the departments of health in both Fresno and Madera counties still refer to this as a "low-risk" and point out there is no "community spread" of the virus. We have also been in regular contact with the Fresno County Department of Public Health. Through our Emergency Management Team-made up of representatives from across the university-Fresno Pacific has been monitoring the COVID-19 situation and providing health updates and resources since February 27. Please contact that organization for guidance. The decisions on whether those continue or any changes in procedure will be made by the sponsoring organization. Many students are involved in clinicals, internships and placements. Residence hall and dining facilities remain open, and service offices-including, but not limited to, the Student Financial Services Office, the Academic Success Center, computer labs, Hiebert Library and the Health Center-are open for their normal business hours. Students who live on campus are welcome to stay, or return home if they would prefer and are able. Faculty will be contacting you next week with instructions, either through email or your Moodle course shell. Starting Monday, March 23, all classes will be fully online.
Those students are encouraged to contact their faculty members to see what accommodation can be made. We also recognize that not all students have the resources to be fully functional in an online environment. The university will provide assistance to faculty during this week and beyond and we are confident the changeover will be successful. Many classes and even programs are already online, or have an online component, so the foundation for this action is well-laid. This will apply to students in the traditional undergraduate, bachelor's degree completion, graduate and seminary programs at all our campuses. During that week we will equip faculty to conduct all classes online through April 12, after which time we will assess the situation and review the plan to see how best to complete the semester.
The university is temporarily suspending all in-person, on-campus classes from Monday, March 16, through Saturday, March 21. In light of the continuing global spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19), Fresno Pacific University has established a plan to safeguard our community while fulfilling our commitment to provide education to our 4,100 students throughout the Central Valley.
