Remote Learning at CDM: Resources and Frequently asked Questions

• Cinespace will only be open to faculty and staff in the Summer Quarter. The Cinespace stages, the grip truck, stage packages, and the Advance Camera Vault equipment will not be available for the duration of Summer Quarter.
• The shuttle is not currently operating.

On March 18th, DePaul closed labs and other facilities until further notice. At this time we are uncertain when The Cage will reopen. We will provide updates on the Loop Equipment Center as we get them.

Gear check out from Cinespace will not be available for the duration of Summer Quarter.

CDM and DePaul Information Services are working to make sure students are able to access the same software that is available in CDM labs. This spreadsheet includes information about free downloads and requesting access to that software. We will continue to update the list with software as it becomes available.

Students in all CDM undergraduate or graduate classes may opt to change the grading basis for any or all of their courses to Pass/D/Fail for Spring and Summer 2020 courses only, including courses in the major, minor, Liberal Studies Program or open electives.

A grade of Pass (P) will indicate that the student's work met expectations for a grade of at least C-. Work that would merit a grade of D+ or D in the traditional grading basis would still earn a D+ or D. Work that does not merit a passing grade will earn an Fail (F).

Spring Quarter 2020:

• Undergraduates: Open Monday, April 20, 2020 through midnight Monday, June 22, 2020.
• Graduate Students: Open Monday, April 27, 2020 through midnight Monday, June 22, 2020.

On April 6th, Interim Provost Salma Ghanem announced that DePaul's Summer I and Summer II classes will be taught predominantly remotely, just as they have been for Spring quarter. Class locations on Campus Connect have been updated to reflect this change. If you are searching for a class in Campus Connect, you can filter on online courses to see courses that were traditionally online. Classes that have been recently moved online because of the COVID-19 health crisis can be found by filtering under “Remote."

To get the most up-to-date information on your courses and on University operations under COVID-19, please:

• Make sure the email address you use regularly is the same address you have registered on Campus Connect.
• Check your email every day and read all communications from DePaul and from individual instructors.
• Check your D2L site for any updates on your summer classes.

• Go to BlueStar and run a Degree Progress Report to see the remaining classes you need to take.
• See if one of those courses is offered in the current or upcoming quarter.
• If not, contact your faculty advisor to determine the appropriate substitution.

Proctored exams are not available on campus.

• Summer and Fall LA Quarter have been canceled. All affected students have been notified. Contact DePaulLA@cdm.depaul.edu with any questions.

Beginning in the Spring Quarter, tutoring will take place online. Before scheduling an online appointment with a tutor, please make sure you have everything you need to make the technology work. This includes a working webcam, microphone, speakers or headset, and an up-to-date web browser. Visit our tutoring page for a list of tutors and additional information.

Staff advisors in the College of Computing and Digital Media remain accessible to all students via online advising appointments through Summer Quarter 2020. Appointments may be scheduled as usual via BlueStar and will be conducted via Zoom. Any student who has difficulty scheduling an appointment may email the academic advisor for their program of study directly or may email advising@cdm.depaul.edu.

Classes in 2020-2021 will be offered in multiple modalities, with both on campus and online offerings. Read the Guide to 2020-21 Schedule of Classes for more information.

All in-person university-sponsored events, either on or off campus, are postponed or canceled until further notice. For event related questions please email events@cdm.depaul.edu.
