We have heard from a few students that they are worried about attending class or other ELI workshops or conversation circles, asking for cancellations or postponements. 

ELI is not canceling classes or other activities at this time, in accordance with guidance from U-M and LSA. Classes and programming will continue as scheduled unless or until we have other university-wide guidance. Students and faculty who are sick should stay home, and faculty are encouraged to be as flexible as possible in accommodating participants who are ill and/or in self-quarantine.

Many members of our community, especially international students, are experiencing stress, anxiety, and frustration due to the rapidly developing situation regarding COVID-19. Please recognize that your friends and colleagues may be experiencing difficult times, and offer your support, kindness, and understanding. For additional support, you can contact U-M Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) for students, or Faculty and Staff Counseling and Consultation Office (FASCCO) for faculty and staff. We also encourage anyone who is concerned about their personal risk level to meet with their doctor directly or schedule a consultation with University Health Services.

 

The English Language Institute is actively monitoring the situation and will be updating faculty, students, and staff as more information becomes available.
