(1) Student Emergency Fund (Students)
From Alexis Guay, Office of Enrollment Services
The Financial Aid Office is here to support you during this challenging time. The Financial Aid Office is available to assist students who may be experiencing financial difficulties as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. Students may be eligible for up to $1,000 in emergency grant funding. These funds are supported by two sources:
• IHP Student COVID Emergency Fund
• CARES Act Emergency Funding
The Financial Aid Committee will review each application submitted to determine if a student is eligible for funding. We encourage students who have experienced financial difficulties as a result of the COVID-19 crisis to
apply.
(2) E-Course Reserves Update (Students)
From Amanda Tarbet, Office of the Provost
The initial e-Course Reserves list contained some inaccurate holdings. Several of the books we linked to were trial versions that Treadwell Library did not actually own. The
list is now updated to show only e-books to which we have full access. We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused because of the inaccurate list. If you have any questions please
contact Amanda Tarbet.
