Dear Virginia Western students,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the college’s Spring Break, the COVID-19 (Novel\nCoronavirus) pandemic has spread in the United States and made it essential\nthat we alter how we deliver our academic courses in order to keep our\ncommunity safe. Our faculty have been preparing to transition your in-person\nclasses to online or remote methods. Campus is closed to students and\nnon-employees until further notice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, the majority of our classes will be held online or remotely.<\/strong> Be sure to frequently check your school email account and log into MyVWCC to access courses through Canvas. Contact your faculty member directly if you have any issues accessing a class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our goal is to help all our students who started the spring semester to complete it successfully. Throughout this evolving national crisis, we will communicate changes to how Virginia Western responds. For a database of past updates, visit: https:\/\/www.virginiawestern.edu\/covid19\/.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been working to update a list of resources and services you can access remotely. Visit: https:\/\/www.virginiawestern.edu\/covid19\/remote-access-to-student-services\/. There, you will find information on Brown Library services and tutoring, Hall Career Center services, Intervention Services, Disability Services, Records, Information Technology Help Desk and more. This page will be updated with more information to support you. You can also call 855-874-6690 for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advising Services have also transitioned online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Virginia Western Bookstore is also closed to the public,\nbut students may order books and other materials online or over the phone. During\nthis time, Follett will ship purchases to you for free. Additionally, Follett\nhas teamed up with several publishers to offer free ebook access.  Visit https:\/\/www.bkstr.com\/virginiawesternccstore<\/a>\nfor more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand that this is an uncertain time and you may\nfeel very real concerns. Sheri Meixner, Virginia Western’s intervention\ncounselor, is available via online meeting or phone to help you. You can set up\nan appointment with Ms. Meixner by contacting her at smeixner@virginiawestern.edu<\/a> or 540-857-6711.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you in advance for your patience during this time. Please stay safe and follow best practices provided by the Virginia Department of Health (VDH)<\/a> and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Robert H. Sandel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President<\/p>\n\n\n\n
