COVID-19 Community Updates

Mid-to-late week next week, when most students have left campus, the College will accelerate the shift to a broader telecommuting arrangement in which eligible employees can work from home.

In light of the announced changes to the spring 2020 semester, due to the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Academic Deans of The Claremont Colleges, have approved the following academic calendar changes and policy exceptions. 

With spring break near, students will be required to leave campus by March 18 and should not expect to return to campus this semester. Classes will continue online, and Pomona will remain open.

In this extraordinary situation, we are taking steps to promote social distancing to reduce the potential for spread of the coronavirus.

We are writing to offer an overview of actions the College is taking and to discuss the overarching values that will guide our approach during this unusual time.

We need to take community health precautions that help us protect one another and carry forward our core educational mission. This will, on a temporary basis, require some adjustments in our typical practices.

As the coronavirus situation unfolds, we are writing with updates on travel advisories and to provide information on health precautions our community can take together.
