This is a fluid time for our country and our campus. Our success this year will require cooperation, flexibility, patience and the ability to adapt. As a compassionate university, we will work together—everyone doing their part. Let’s be healthy together for a safe return to campus in the 2021-2022 academic year.
Spalding will continue to abide by federal, state and local guidelines. Any of the university’s policies are subject to change based on the state of the pandemic.

Nearly all classes that were moved from in-person to remote during the pandemic will return to a face-to-face setting. See the University Catalog for details on your courses.
Because most of our courses are offered in six-week sessions instead of full semesters, we have the flexibility to quickly adjust classes based on the state of the pandemic. See the 2021-2022 Academic Calendar.

Health and Wellness Resources
Our health and counseling services have adapted to better serve students during the pandemic. The Counseling and Psychological Services (CaPS) has implemented teletherapy so students can receive services from the comfort of their dorm room or home and will offer in-person services in the CaPS office as well. The Eagle Care Clinic offers telehealth and office visits by appointment.
