Dear Life West Community,
Students: A reminder for you to check your email for the message from Communications last night regarding “Grades Now Available in CAMS” to learn about the next steps to take for finals. It is critical that you review the options in the email carefully and make the choice that best fits you for each of your classes. If you do not respond by Monday, March 23rd at 5:00 pm, the options will default to the following:
- If you are passing a course, you will keep your grade and will not take the final
- If you are failing a course, you will be required to take the final
International Students: If you are unable to access your grades via CAMS, please contact the Registrar’s Office (mlopez@lifewest.edu).
Health Center Operations: The Health Center will be opening on Monday, March 23, 2020 with a reduced schedule, strict screening process to ensure safety, and greater cleaning and sanitizing measures. We are excited to be open again. Our faculty, administration, and staff have worked tirelessly to put procedures in place that will ensure safety for our entire community. They have taken the time to train and screen interns. The situation is fluid and we will be working to keep you up to date and keep our faculty, staff, interns and patients informed. If you are a patient in the Health Center and would like to be seen, you must contact your intern in order to get an appointment. You cannot just walk-in. We will only see patients by appointment and that have completed the screening process.
Interns: Details for the Health Center opening are in Canvas in a new module titled, “COVID-19 Processes”. You must be screened before you can return. Please contact your mentor. Do not return without first contacting your mentor and completing the screening process.
Self-Care and Managing Anxiety Around COVID-19: Many of us may be experiencing concerns for themselves and loved ones. With mention of COVID-19 (coronavirus) on social media, emails, news, text messages—it is no wonder that many of us may experience worry and anxiety. During this time, we would like to share a link that outlines several useful ideas that can help during this time rulerapproach.org/managing-anxiety-around-covid-19.
And as always, please remember we are here to support each other. Now more than ever we need to live the Life West values – Giving Doing Loving and Serving from our personal abundance.
All our Life West community is encouraged to read the campus Voice online at lifewest.edu/campus-voice and check your email daily for updates.
Sincerely,
Life West Emergency Response Taskforce
