Will Faculty/Staff be able to make Alternative Work Arrangement Requests?

Reminder that Alternate Work Arrangements (AWA) or accommodations granted to employees for fall 2020 or spring 2021 due to increased risk for severe illness with Covid-19 will end no later than June 30, 2021.

All employees are expected to return to their previous work arrangement at that time. Current summer teaching assignments are excluded from this transition deadline.

Lack of vaccination is not grounds for a request for an accommodation.
