Graduate Information

CSU's goal is for all students to walk into our classrooms, labs, or other learning spaces only after having gotten a negative COVID test from the CSU testing site.

CSU’s public health office will follow up on all positive cases and perform contact tracing and provide instructions for self-isolation or quarantine. Space has been set aside in university housing facilities for positive students who live on campus. You can find more information on CSU's COVID testing page.

Graduate students should reach out to their program advisor to schedule any appointments.

International Student and Scholar Services has developed FAQs with information for international students regarding visas, travel and academics during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The policy by Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) from July 6, 2020, regarding international students on F and M visas and their ability to take online classes has been rescinded and will not be implemented. Instead, the policy from March 9, 2020, will be observed, which allows international students to take online classes and remain in the United States.

This means that the immigration records for international students who continue to participate in their coursework online and maintain a full-time course load through the Fall 2020 semester will not be negatively impacted. Please view the information from the Office of International Programs for more details.

Students who have returned to their home countries and plan to take courses online may do so. We know that many students chose to go home during the spring and summer and that with travel and visa restrictions in place, it may be difficult or impossible to get back to CSU now. You can find more information here. 

Students who cannot attend class in person may still participate in class sessions via a synchronous livestream of the lecture. Please contact your advisor for more information.

Housing and Dining services will open residence halls in accordance with social distancing guidelines.

The latest updates about on-campus living are offered by Housing and Dining Services’ COVID-19 information page.

Housing and dining has a detailed plan to house and support students who are required to quarantine or self-isolate. Students who need this service will be temporarily moved to a private room/apartment for the duration of the quarantine or self-isolation period, and services such as meal delivery will be provided. There are no additional charges associated with quarantine or self-isolation services. For more information, see the Housing and Dining COVID page.

All College of Business courses will be offered online, so students who cannot attend in person due to quarantine may still participate in class sessions on a synchronous livestream of the lecture. Lecture material will also be recorded and available on demand outside scheduled course hours.

Recordings of class sessions are provided as a study aid that enhances review of course materials, not as an alternative to attending and participating in the class at its scheduled time. Should special circumstances such as a health condition prevent you from attending virtually, contact your instructor to receive approval to transition to on-demand attendance from livestreamed attendance.

Students who have been offered Graduate Assistantships should contact their academic/program advisor for information about their assistantship. In some cases, assistantships can be completed virtually for students who are unable to come to campus or would prefer not to be on campus for health reasons.
