COVID-19

Need to Request COVID-19 related Alternative Educational Arrangements?

In response to the COVID-19 public health emergency, Augusta University (AU) will provide assistance for students who are or might be at an increased risk from COVID-19 as published by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). 

• A student must fit into a CDC category indicating they are or might be at an increased risk from COVID-19 to be considered for alternative educational arrangements in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency.
  
  
• AU may require documentation from your health care provider regarding your qualifying circumstance or health conditions.
  
  
• It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that your health care provider documentation or other supporting documentation is provided to the Office of Testing and Disability Services.
  
  
• Students may be required to engage in an interactive process with Disability Services to explore alternative educational arrangement options.
  
  
• Students do not need to disclose their health condition to their instructors. Medical records and information should only be submitted to Disability Services, where they are maintained in a confidential manner.
  
  
• Approved alternate educational arrangements will end no later than upon the conclusion of the public health emergency as determined by CDC.

Students requesting alternative educational arrangements must submit a completed COVID-19 Alternative Educational Arrangement Request Form to the Disability Office.
