Classes for the fall semester will commence on Aug. 31. In lieu of a mid-semester break in October, there will now be no classes the entire week of Thanksgiving, Nov. 23-28. In addition, Trocaire is tentatively planning on moving all learning, including hands-on classes, to an online format after Thanksgiving break until the end of the semester on Dec. 21. The campus would remain open for support services and staff and faculty offices during this time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile on campus, all individuals will be expected to practice social distancing wherever possible and be required to wear a mask where distancing cannot be observed. Students taking classes on campus will also be required to periodically submit an online health screening form.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs guidelines from New York State and other entities continue to evolve, we will continue to communicate any changes with our faculty, staff and students. Specific details on protocols regarding sanitizing, health screenings, on-campus traffic patterns, visitor restrictions and more will be shared before the fall semester begins.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Statement by Dr. Bassam M.
