Further details on academic programming in winter 2022

Dear Bishop’s Community,

As the Principal and Dr. Linden-Andersen indicate in their message of January 10th, classes for the winter 2022 semester will resume on Wednesday, January 12 with most classes being delivered remotely.

As we indicated in our message of January 5, 2022, some courses will begin in person on January 12^th.  The updated list of exempted courses is provided below. Continue reading below for more information on the plan for January 17^th and beyond.

LIST OF EXCEPTIONS- COURSES THAT MAY START IN-PERSON AS OF JANUARY 12th. (additions are LISTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST, one course reverting to online is highlighted in BOLD)

REMINDER: Students are encouraged to check their BU email account on a regular basis and the course Moodle site for updates (e.g. some science labs and other courses may begin in-person in Week 2). Instructors may provide important details specific to their course by email and/or on the Moodle site.

Additions:

FIN 218 Digital Imaging for the Artist I

BMG322 Change Management

The following courses will offer hybrid options as of January 12^th:

DRA 161 (Intro to costume design)

MTH 300 (Musical production 1)

WHAT HAPPENS AS OF JANUARY 17^th?

• All classes that were planned to be in-person on the winter 2022 timetable will be delivered in-person at the time scheduled and in the assigned classroom.
• All classes scheduled to be delivered online on the winter 2022 timetable will continue to be delivered online. Synchronous courses will continue at the time scheduled in the current timetable.

Therefore, students who have registered for in-person classes must be prepared to return to Lennoxville for these in-person classes beyond January 17.

Please note that students should not expect hybrid sections of in-person classes.

Future updates

As we wrote in our last message, unpredictability is the new reality so we need to be supportive of each other as we face these challenges. Of course, we have learned that the best laid plans are subject to change.

Be well. BU.
