Updates regarding student testing + fall academic calendar ↓Updates regarding student testing + fall academic calendar ↓

As previously announced, all UA students will receive FREE coronavirus testing through the statewide Stay Safe TogetherTM program for Alabama. The testing program, funded by the federal CARES Act, is part of the University’s Plan for a Return to Full Operations and the UA System’s re-entry plan. Students - be sure to check your crimson email for full details regarding testing protocols. Detailed instructions you need for your move-in, return to classes and return to campus activities here: https://healthinfo.ua.edu/testing-information/…;

The Fall 2020 academic calendar is being updated to provide instruction and testing remotely after Nov. 20. The semester, scheduled to begin on campus with mostly in-person instruction components, will shift to remote just before Thanksgiving week. Calendar changes include:

-Mid-Semester Study Break (previously scheduled for Oct. 29-30) is canceled. Classes will take place as scheduled on these days.

-In-person instruction ends Nov. 20, and any remaining instruction will be remote.

-No classes held Thanksgiving week, Nov. 21-29.

-Study week will continue remotely after Thanksgiving, and finals week will remain Dec. 7-11. All final exams will be conducted remotely.

Exceptions and accommodations may be provided for students based on specific academic program needs and in close consultation with their academic advisers and for international students or other students who may not have alternate living arrangements. Presently, we do not anticipate any changes to the spring academic calendar.

This Fall, UA will be transitioning to digital mobile ACT Cards. All incoming students, faculty and staff will be able to download a mobile ACT Card for iPhone or Android cellular device. Those with physical ACT Cards will still be able to use them, but if the card is lost it will be replaced only with a mobile card, unless the person does not have a qualifying mobile device.
More details here: https://bit.ly/ACTCardsOnMobile“Mobile ACT Cards are more secure through the use of DUO multifactor authentication. They’re faster, provide encrypted transactions and have a lot of health benefits being an online self-service option, such as being contactless.”

Starting this fall semester, The University of Alabama will be moving to digital mobile ACT Cards.

There will be sanitizing stations throughout the coliseum, and the venue will be cleaned between all ceremonies.

A live webcast will be provided for all ceremonies for those who are unable to attend due to underlying medical conditions or other concerns.

#HighlightOurHeroes "I have been a CNA at Floyd Medical Center in GA for 2 years! I’ve been showing my tide pride while working with an Alabama headband to help keep straps off my ears! We luckily have enough PPE at my hospital and have been blessed with 2 N95s every 10 shifts and a face shield to wear into rooms! It’s tiring while working with all this on, but it has helped me reassure that nursing is the career path I want to go into! Thanks for supporting us students!"
