Fall 2020 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to confirm I have complied with the testing, quarantining and screening requirements? Will the College of Law notify me?
A. If you have been tested and submitted your negative result to SU, and if you have sent your evidence of compliance with the quarantine requirements, you do not need to do anything further, other than to be screened as outlined in my previous message.
You should not expect confirmation from the College of Law that you have complied. We will only contact you if you have not complied with these requirements.
Q: What do I do if you I have tested positive for coronavirus or if I suspect exposure?
A: Please refer to the University's COVID-19 response checklist.
Q: If I am not able to attend class on line, can I just listen to the recording of my class?
A: Listening to recordings of classes does not constitute attendance. The American Bar Association and the College of Law require that classes have attendance policies. The details of each class’s attendance policy are in the professional discretion of your course professors and may be found in your course syllabi. Alternatively, you may ask your professors to confirm their expectations. In short, you are expected to attend class synchronously, regardless of the modality in which instruction is delivered, and to adhere to the attendance policy set forth in the course syllabus. Students in need of special accommodations should consult with Director of Student Affairs Sarah Collins and the University's Center for Disability Resources.
