Dear Faculty and Students,

On March 19, the County of Los Angeles ordered all residents to stay home starting March 19 through April 19, 2020 to limit the spread of COVID-19. Educational institutions, like Emperor’s College, are subject to these orders but are considered essential businesses and colleges may stay open to facilitate distance education.  In light of this order, please see below the changes starting Spring Quarter.  Please read carefully.

Remote instruction via Zoom starting Spring Quarter, April 6: Starting April 6, all classes will be delivered through remote education via Zoom.  All the classes will meet at the scheduled date and time.  We will provide more details soon.
