Our primary coronavirus and COVID-19 resources are listed below.
Fall Clinical and Fieldwork Experiences:
On Friday, May 22, the campus received the re-integration plan which spoke to remote delivery of classes for the final three weeks of the semester following Thanksgiving break. The College of Health Science may issue an exception to this for clinical activities. Clinical programs require this component by their accreditation bodies and for adequate preparation for a given profession. In order to maintain on-time graduation, your program may ask for participation in-person attendance of these activities following the Thanksgiving break.
COHS adheres to guidance from the
- Facilities (hospitals, agencies, health care providers)
- CDC
- Boise State University
Guidance from these entities will affect our decisions and we may or may not be in a position after Thanksgiving to have students participate in these activities. We want to prepare you for this possibility.
