Emergency COVID-19 Temporary DE Addenda Form

If you have a course that will be offered in the Summer of 2020 or Fall of 2020, and your course does not already have a DE addenda on file, then we will need you to fill out the form linked above.  We only need one form per course, please work with your division to ensure all courses being offered online during this pandemic have gone through this process.  The form should take approximately 5 minutes to fill out per course.  If you are not sure if you need to fill this out, please contact your dean.  They should have a complete list of all courses needed.
