The Emory College Academic Continuity & Remote Teaching site is the primary resource for faculty support as we transition to remote teaching Monday.
Below are specific links on the Remote Teaching site that may be most useful to faculty and staff in advance of next week.
If your department would like to schedule a remote teaching workshop or consultation with a member of the College’s team via Zoom, contact Sara Wade, sejacks@emory.edu. General questions on remote teaching may be addressed to oue.facultysupport@emory.edu, or you may find the appropriate resource here.
Remote IT and Classroom Tech Support
College IT and Classroom Tech are in service and ready to support faculty and staff.
We will be monitoring our tickets 7 days a week from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and will respond to emergency requests as soon as possible. If you need IT assistance for any reason, contact:
- LITS Service Desk at either 404-727-7777 or at the web link https://emory.service-now.com/. On that website, you can enter a service ticket or engage in a live chat function, which would be the quickest for emergency responses. The website also has a searchable knowledgebase.
- Email echelp@emory.edu with a description of your problem and we will get back in touch as quickly as possible. Please leave your preferred contact number in your message.
You may call the Emory College IT Help Desk at 404-727-5757. Note that this will automatically place you into voice mail, and your voice mail will auto-generate the service ticket.
- IT Checklist: To assist you in working effectively and efficiently from home or from an off-campus location, Emory College Information Technology team has created an IT Checklist.
Student Tech Support
For faculty receiving questions from students about tech support, please direct them to the following resources:
Student Course Exception Request
Students received information on Thursday that outlines the process and the options students can choose about their classes this semester. This process allows students to request a change in grading basis to S/U for a course through OPUS, or petition for a single course withdrawal, or to request an incomplete.
We are asking students to give the remote platforms at least one week before making a change. Student status in the course will be updated in OPUS. For students who need advising assistance, direct them to oue.advising@emory.edu. You may also reach out to oue.facultysupport@emory.edu.
Building Access Limited Starting March 20
Starting at 5 p.m., Friday, March 20, all Emory College buildings will be locked to provide additional security.
We encourage all faculty to make sure they have the most up-to-date Emory ID to ensure they can access their offices. Faculty with outdated, damaged or lost ID cards can obtain a replacement card at no cost. EmoryCard Services now allows you to make an appointment to visit at a time that is convenient for you; click the “Get Your EmoryCard” link on the right side of the EmoryCard website.
If you are unable to make an appointment or come to campus, we are researching other options that may be available to you. If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact Emory College Facilities at ecasfacilities@emory.edu.
