- Students can reserve private study space at all three sites. Students should provide the date and time they want to reserve at least 24 hours in advance by contacting:
Outdoor Study Spaces at Thousand Oaks Campus – Covered outdoor spaces with wireless access, convenience power and lighting are available for all students. These areas are available until 10 pm each day. The spaces are indicated on the campus map
Access to the Campus: Some faculty members have requested regular access to their office, lab, studio, or a classroom. If you made this request, you have been given card access and you simply need to complete the Health Check questionnaire each morning before coming on campus, either through the MyCLU portal or the MyCLU app (if you have questions about the electronic Daily Health Check, contact the Help Desk at helpdesk@callutheran.edu or 805 493-3698).
If you have not requested regular access and you just need to drop by to pick something up, you’ll need to email Leanne Neilson (provost@callutheran.edu) to request permission, ideally at least 24 hours in advance (School of Management faculty will need to also email Dean Apfelthaler if you want access to the Hanson House since the space will need to be coordinated). You will receive confirmation from Campus Safety, and you’ll need to complete the Health Check questionnaire the morning you come on campus. Many of the buildings on campus are closed this fall. If your office is in one of the closed buildings, you can still drop by but you should not plan to stay long because there is no air conditioning or heat, and you should not use the restrooms because they are not being cleaned. If your office is closed and you need space to work on campus, please contact Judy Beaulieu (jbeaulie@callutheran.edu) and she’ll find a work space for you in an open building. A list of the open and closed (“dormant”) buildings on campus can be found at: https://www.callutheran.edu/know/facilities/building-status.html
August CTL Training Schedule: The Digital Learning Department will be hosting Zoom Training Webinars through Friday, Sept. 11, to prepare faculty for Fall 2020.
