Updates due to COVID-19 for Fall 2020 term (July 16, 2020)
PLEASE NOTE: Update on Status of Fall 2020 term (August 17, 2020). Classes will continue as planned this fall at Maitripa College, beginning August 31. In accordance with local guidelines, classes in fall term will be held online, with optional, periodic, onsite meetings incorporating rigorous social distancing to be held at the instructor’s discretion if state and local regulations permit. Other than legal mandates, the safety and comfort of our faculty and students is the primary factor driving this decision. All classes will have remote-only options for registered students in Oregon.
