Welcome back to campus! We are excited to have you back on the Hilltop for the upcoming 2020-21 academic year. To help prepare you for the year, we are requiring all students to complete this COVID-19 training course. This course will provide you with lots of information on COVID-19 and the changes that have occurred on campus since you were last here. The goal of this course is to provide you with information about what the upcoming semester will look like and provide answers to questions you might have.

It is important to keep in mind that the COVID-19 situation is constantly evolving and SMU may need to readjust policies and procedures to best support the health and safety of our community.

We will actively work to update the information in this course as information changes so that you can refer back and have continued access to the latest information.

Course Contents

This course will take a little over one hour to complete and is broken up into six key modules:

Module 1: COVID-19 Basics
Module 2: Proper Prevention
Module 3: Testing
Module 4: If Someone Gets Sick
Module 5: What to Expect On Campus
Module 6: What to Expect Off Campus

You must review all of the pages and complete the quiz at the end of each module in order to gain access to the next module.

The course will be concluded with a final assessment to test your knowledge from the course. You must receive a grade of at least 80% (28 out of 35) in order to get credit for completing the course.

YOU MUST COMPLETE ALL MODULES AND THE FINAL ASSESSMENT IN ORDER TO PASS THE COURSE

Important!

Noncompliance is not an option.

Students are required to complete the COVID-19 course in Canvas as soon as possible. Failure to complete the course by the first day of the term will result in a HOLD being placed that will restrict ALL enrollment transactions (add/drop/swap) for Fall 2020 and future terms. After the HOLD has been placed, students must complete the course in order for the HOLD to be removed. It only takes about an hour to complete the course.
