President Gaudino recently made an announcement about the coming fall quarter. One of the important changes is that the start and end dates of the quarter have moved earlier. Fall quarter 2020 will now start on Wednesday, September 9 and end on Tuesday, November 24.

We recommend reading President Gaudino's letter thoroughly.

• CWU Announcement About April 22 Immigration Suspension:

President Trump released a Proclamation on April 22, 2020 relating to immigration. This Proclamation went into effect on April 23, 2020 and is valid for 60 days. This proclamation only affects those who are outside the U.S. and were/are ready to enter on an immigrant visa. This Proclamation does not apply to F1 students, CPT, OPT, STEM OPT applications, or student visa applications at a consulate or embassy.
