<p>Dear Members of the Delaware Law School Community:</p>
<p>Following up on the message sent today by Widener University President Julie Wollman, here is a summary of the plan for the coming start of the Spring 2022 Semester:</p>
<p>All spring semester classes held in person will begin remotely and remain remote through at least Sunday, January 23, 2022.&nbsp; The classes will be conducted at their regularly scheduled times.&nbsp;&nbsp;Faculty members should prepare the appropriate zoom links for students for these classes.&nbsp;&nbsp;Students, please check your email regularly for communication from your professors.</p>
<p>All students and employees, who don&rsquo;t already have an approved exemption for the spring 2022 semester, are required to receive a booster dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine and must upload their updated vaccination record card prior to January 21, 2022 to&nbsp;<a href="https://widener.medicatconnect.com/home.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="0">https://widener.medicatconnect.com/home.aspx</a>.&nbsp; Upload a photo of your vaccine card including your booster information as soon as possible.</p>
<p>If you are not yet eligible to receive the booster because it has been fewer than 6 months since your second dose of the vaccine, you are required to receive the booster dose and upload your proof of booster no more than 7 days after you become eligible.</p>
<p>Two vaccine booster clinics will be available on the main campus in Chester: one on Thursday, January 6 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and one on Friday, January 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.&nbsp;&nbsp;These clinics will be open to all students, employees, and family members from all campuses.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please register for the clinics at:&nbsp;<a href="https://form.jotform.com/213615120477147" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="1">https://form.jotform.com/213615120477147</a>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Essential employees, and some employees in facilities remaining open, are expected to report to campus during the period of remote classes.&nbsp;&nbsp;All other employees may work remotely until they resume their regular work arrangement on January 24.&nbsp;&nbsp;Masks covering the nose and mouth while indoors will continue to be required.</p>
<p>Employees who need to visit the campus briefly to retrieve files or other materials may do so at their discretion provided they observe masking and all other existing protocols</p>
<p>The Delaware Campus housing units will be open and students who have received the booster or are not yet eligible to do so may move in as originally planned.&nbsp;&nbsp;Students may also choose to delay moving in until January 24th.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />Dean Rod Smolla</p>
