Quick Start Guide to Learning Remotely
Beginning Monday, March 23, 2020, all EKU classes will be delivered online to the greatest extent possible. This decision aligns with our goal to reduce the number of interactions on campus, slow the rate of transmission, and protect our communities. We understand there are personal, logistical, and financial challenges to these sudden and extraordinary measures. University leadership and your colleges are here to support you. We also appreciate our students' understanding and willingness to adapt to remote learning!
In addition to the University-wide advice and resources below, see your college-specific page for more information:
