Important information
TEMPLE AND COVID-19
Temple University’s motto is Perseverance Conquers, and we will meet the challenges of the COVID pandemic with flexibility and resilience. The university has made plans for multiple eventualities. Working together as a community to deliver a meaningful learning experience is a responsibility we all share: we’re in this together so we can be together.
How This Course Will Be Taught

Attendance Protocol and Your Health
If you feel unwell, you should not come to campus, and you will not be penalized for your absence. Instructors are required to ensure that attendance is recorded for each in-person class session. The primary reason for documentation of attendance is to facilitate contact tracing, so that if a student or instructor with whom you have had close contact tests positive for COVID-19, the university can contact you. Recording of attendance will also provide an opportunity for outreach from student services and/or academic support units to support students should they become ill. Faculty and students agree to act in good faith and work with mutual flexibility. The expectation is that students will be honest in representing class attendance.
Course Materials
Some students may have pandemic-related financial hardships. Where possible, provide ways for students to access course materials at no or lower cost, such as the Library’s electronic reserve, EZ Borrow/ILLiad, etc. Clarify if older editions are available and appropriate, or whether the textbook is available to rent.

The following academic support services are available to support you:
Student Success Center
University Libraries
