Midwestern University COVID-19 Next Steps

The clinics have remained open for emergency care and comprehensive healthcare services. The health and safety of our patients is our top priority, and we have increased our already vigorous cleaning protocols, adopted the best practices for patient safety, and implemented appropriate social distancing. Visit https://www.mwuclinics.com/ for more information.

The University has already hosted successful virtual orientation programs for new students and virtual commencement ceremonies to celebrate the significant accomplishments of our graduates. Many of our classes will remain in an online format with faculty mentoring students throughout their coursework. The University have welcomed additional students to our campuses for classes this fall and winter. The University will continue to monitor the health and safety of our campus community and implement additional strategies to provide a safe learning environment for all.   

Many Midwestern faculty and staff who provide essential services have been working on our campuses, while others have been working from home.  We are now able to gradually return more faculty and staff to campus based on a schedule that meets operational and student needs. Prior to returning to campus, members of the University community received additional training about safety standards, new health procedures, and expectations to ensure the University is meeting or exceeding public health guidelines.

Midwestern University has implemented a careful and comprehensive plan, knowing that the well-being, health, and safety of our community comes first. We have returned to an active and thriving campus.
