COVID-19 Academic Update (2)

Dear Students,

Following my email on March 28, our university has been fielding many questions from students about grades, deadlines, financial aid, scholarships and other academic matters.  I would like to strongly encourage you to read the “Tips for Students’ Academic Success” and to inform you that a new FAQ section was developed, specifically addressing your questions in relation to the P/NP grading and other academic measures taken in Spring 2020.

Admittedly, this is a challenging time for everyone.  We will continue to be here for you today and in the days ahead.  If you have any questions not included on the FAQ list or any comments, please do not hesitate to contact us at this dedicated email address: COVID19.support@lau.edu.lb.

This is an extraordinary moment, and it calls on all of us to be flexible, creative, and adaptive.  We understand that this abrupt transition to online instruction has been disorienting to both students and faculty.  We will continue to work tirelessly with our faculty to ensure that essential course learning outcomes are delivered without undue burdening of students.

Stay strong, be well, keep the faith, and always remember that LAU cares!

Sincerely,
George Nasr
Provost
