In the upcoming summer semester 2021, all instruction at ASL will continue to be done remotely, mostly via Zoom and Moodle. We have not made this decision lightly. However, in light of the contingencies imposed by the pandemic, we feel that it is more important for faculty and students to be able to plan the upcoming months. Deciding to do one more fully digital semester, and making this decision now, will allow all of us to better prepare for the road ahead.

To keep within the guidelines of social distancing procedures, we still cannot offer in-person office hours. To receive a remote consultation, email the instructor you would like to talk to at least 1 hour before the beginning of their office hours to request a callback. In said request, please include your phone number. Some instructors might offer additional remote options (via Zoom, Skype, Google Hangouts, or other) – please see below.
