As President Pollack has issued the statement asking units to complete and implement emergency response plans by March 20, we in the Division of Financial Affairs (DFA) have completed our plans and have implemented remote work for as many of our staff members as possible as of Tuesday, March 17.
What to Expect
While most of us are dispersed off-campus, we are fully prepared to meet our customers’ needs during this challenging time. You should expect that services currently provided electronically will continue. If any circumstances change, we will let you know promptly. You may receive additional announcements from our individual departments.
Contacting Our Staff Members
