Summer 2020 On-Campus Protocols

As we transition between school years during this time of heightened awareness of health and safety, we ask that only visitors with an appointment physically come to our campus. For help setting up an appointment or to find the appropriate person to assist you with a question by email or phone, please refer to the guide below. Email continues to be our preferred communication method while many of our staff members work remotely.

Note: All offices will be closed from July 3 through July 12, 2020
