- Examples of remote instruction include email, webinars, mobile phones, discussion boards, social media, and other forms of instructional technology, including distance learning. Instructors will contact students with details on the type of remote instruction that will be used.
- I am a work-study student. Should I come in to work so I can get paid?

During this time, students will be paid for their normal scheduled hours to work. These hours were reported on their Schedule Submittal form that was turned in to Financial Aid with their Work-Study packet.

- What about WIOA and will the Alabama Career centers be open?
- Beginning Wednesday, March 18, 2020, all of Alabama’s 51 Career Centers will close to the public in order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. This closure will be in effect until further notice. Alabama residents in need of Career Center services will still be able to receive them via telephone calls with their local staff or through email correspondence.
- If you have any additional questions about WIOA or the Alabama Career Center, you can contact Bishop State’s Office of Financial Aid and Veteran Services at financialaid@bishop.edu.
