Dear Fall 2020
LLM, MSLS, and Semester Exchange Candidates,
I hope this message finds you well. We very much look forward to welcoming you to USD this Fall!
As you are probably aware, many schools and universities have
temporarily suspended live classes and migrated to a system of remote
teaching. Some are also adapting their work practices and interactions
during the COVID-19 crisis.
Please be assured that here at USD, we continue to be available to all
graduate law students, regardless of academic program or country
of residence. We are preparing for the Fall 2020 semester in full
force and remain hopeful that COVID-19 will
peak and subside within the next few months. To that end, we continue
to work towards an uninterrupted Fall 2020 semester, while also making
every effort to mitigate the risks of transmitting COVID-19.
In the interim, I recommend that you check USD's
COVID-19 website
on a regular basis and follow CDC and other official guidance about
safe practices, including social distancing, self-isolation when
appropriate, and diligent hand-washing.
If you have special concerns about TOEFL or IELTS test cancellations,
deposit deadlines, visa processing, or any other issue, please do not
hesitate to contact me. We
recognize that this unprecedented situation requires flexibility and
compassion during this time of uncertainty and will accommodate you to
the fullest extent possible. We look forward to seeing you soon and welcoming you to the Torero family!
Wishing you good health and safety,
Robynn Allveri
Asst. Director, Graduate and International Programs
