Dear Martin students,
 
 This semester has taken an unexpected turn and has likely caused you much concern. Your tenacity throughout this situation proves your unwavering commitment to reaching your educational goals. It is our commitment to aid in your success by providing essential student resources and special accommodations during these trying times.

 In previous communications, students were informed of the University’s plan to accelerate online learning with short and long-term solutions. In the short-term, Faculty will use remote interactive platforms such as Google Classroom and ZOOM to facilitate classroom lectures. Assignments submitted via email will also be permitted. Implementation of these changes will begin as classes resume Monday, March 30th. Additionally, all students are provided a Microsoft Office 365 account allowing downloads of the latest version of Microsoft products including Word and PowerPoint. Please contact the IT Department for assistance with Microsoft 365.
