12) Question: Is the campus completely closed?

Effective immediately and consistent with Governor Newsom's "stay at home order" and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors "safer at home order," both issued the evening of March 20, the CDU Campus is closed. All instruction has been moved to online.

All employees and staff are working remotely. The only exception is essential or critical functions that must be performed, and/or that has the President’s approval. Access to the University from the 118th St. side is closed, and the 118th St. parking lot is closed, however, 118th St. is open to traffic in both directions. All access to the University must be through the 120th St. side.

13) Question: What is the access to the Library?

With the university closed, there is no face -to- face access to the library. The librarians and support staff will respond to queries received by phone or email, the library’s number is (323) 563-4869, and the email address is: library2@cdrewu.edu. In addition, for Blackboard support, please call (323) 563-4866 or send an email to: cdublackboardsupport@cdrewu.edu.

There are no poster printing services or on-site AV services while the campus is closed.

14) Question: When will on-campus classes resume?

Our plan is that classes will be online through the end of the Spring semester (May 1, 2020). However, this is a rapidly-changing situation, and we are closely monitoring public health guidelines and announcements.

We will let students know as quickly as we can of any changes to those plans.

15) Question: When on-campus classes resume, how much warning will we have for those who need to arrange travel?

As noted above, online delivery is scheduled to last through the end of the Spring semester (May 1, 2020).

We will give you as much advance notice as we can, and student travel needs will certainly be considered as part of our decision-making process.

Reminder:  Please continue to follow your program protocol for contacting your professor or program director in the event that you are ill.  Review clinical policies provided by your programs and also refer to your CDU Student Handbook 2020-2021. Review the CDU Return to Campus Plan here.
