To support New York State Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s plan to reopen the state in a careful and thoughtful manner, SUNY established a COVID-19 Resume and Restart Task Force that is working collaboratively with the Governor’s Office, the New York State Department of Health (DOH), as well as local and state elected officials. In recognition of our own need for institutional preparation, the College also formed a Task Force, which has been linked to the SUNY effort in order to align the reopening process with the system-wide effort.
Long Island has entered Phase 4 of the New York State re-opening plan, which specifically permits institutions of higher education to operate. The College’s Interim President Louis Petrizzo officially began the reopening of campus offices starting on Monday, July 27th, by gradually welcoming back those employees who generally work on-campus during the summer months. Employees are following weekly staggered schedules that will effectively provide in-person coverage across College and campus offices.
For the fall 2020 semester, SUNY Suffolk is pleased to announce that it will be offering classes in a variety of instructional delivery methods to meet student needs. Here is a brief explanation of how each modality works:
- Online—instruction is provided by the professor through Blackboard, the College’s online learning management system. Students interact with faculty and complete assignments working on their own time, while adhering to course deadlines.
- Real-Time Online—recreates a classroom experience with your instructor and other class members coming together for live virtual instruction at regularly scheduled days and times.
- Combined Online—50% Online and 50% Real-Time Online meeting times with your instructor.
- Blended—partly on campus and partly Online or Real-Time Online, used mostly for labs and performance courses.
- There will also be a limited number of face-to-face classes that require hands-on instructional experiences to meet accreditation requirements.
