COVID-19 UPDATES + RESOURCES

Resources on Instagram for Students

As you can see, your friends in the Office for Student Success are doing our best to minimize the clutter in your inbox and streamline our communication to you. That was the idea behind the Eagle Weekly. Know where else you can find us? On Instagram!!! In addition to the Midway University Instagram Accounts, you should also follow these other great accounts for information that will help you be successful during this transition.

Expectations for Students on Campus

If you are a student residing on our campus as a result of a hardship or using the campus computer lab, please understand that you are expected to observe the CDC and Kentucky state guidelines for social distancing. Our campus is officially closed to visitors, so please do not bring other individuals on campus at any time. This is for the safety of all students, staff, and our community.

Small Business Guidance and Loan Resources

Do you own a small business or work for an owner of a small business? The Small Business Association may have forgivable loan opportunities for you to consider during this time. For more information on these loans and the Paycheck Protection Program, visit their website.

Questions Regarding Federal Stimulus Checks

You may have heard that you may be receiving an economic stimulus check soon. There are lots of questions about when checks will arrive, how much you might receive, and how you might receive your funds if you qualify. This Forbes article is very helpful in answering common questions.

STUDENT SUCCESS ANNOUNCEMENTS + HELP

Classes on Good Friday Will Not Meet

Typically, face-to-face classes do not meet on Good Friday, while online classes are not impacted by the holiday. This semester given the unusual circumstances, we will honor the holiday for those classes that moved from face-to-face to online. Therefore, if you have a class that is scheduled to meet on Good Friday, it will not meet.

Don’t Forget! Tutoring is Available.

Tutoring is still being offered at a distance by our Midway University peer tutors. If it's math, English, or equine, we have a tutor that can help. Tutors are free and flexible.

Register for Summer and Fall Coursework

If you haven’t registered for summer or fall coursework, now is the time to do so! Course registration is open for all returning students. We want you to be able to enroll in the courses you need to stay on track towards degree completion. Check your email for communication from your academic advisor on how to schedule a meeting to discuss and approve your coursework for summer or fall. You can also find your advisor information, course progress, and summer or fall course offerings by going to MyMidway > Self-Service > Student Planning. Returning traditional daytime students must register before Wednesday, April 15, to avoid the $100 late registration fee.

Module 4 Withdraw Deadline Is THIS WEDNESDAY

Midterms for 8-week Module 4 courses are on Monday, April 6. The deadline to drop a Module 4 course with a “W” is Wednesday, April 8. If you are contemplating withdrawing from a course, please reach out to your academic advisor or Joe Ryan in Student Success to discuss how withdrawing may impact your academic plan.
