Recently, the Student & Residence Life Restart team at Clarkson University hosted two open forums for families. Thank you to those that were able to attend. In follow up, the planning team has reviewed your questions from those sessions, as well as those from other forums, and compiled a list of FAQs to share with families and the Clarkson Community.
To review the full list of Student & Residence Life Restart FAQs, please visit https://www.clarkson.edu/clarkson-reopening-fall-2020-current-student-faqs. All updates, information and announcements are posted to our Future Ready website. In addition, as your student begins packing for the semester, please remember that students are asked to bring a thermometer and masks. The University will be providing two masks to each student after arrival as well.
On behalf of the restart team, thank you to those campus community members, students, families that attended our recent forums. We will continue to provide updates and communications.
