For Summer quarter 2020, some students will have access to select clinical rotations at our hospitals. We'll also be maintaining some courses online and continuing to adapt to a new learning environment. Your dean and program director will let you know when your rotations are available.

For the Fall quarter of 2020, Loma Linda University will adapt a hybrid learning format. In this format, classes will be held both online and in-person depending on the program and curriculum. Each school’s administration will communicate to their students the details on the steps to implement this model within their programs. For all-in person classes, LLU has put in place specific plans to ensure proper screening, social distancing, cleaning of frequently used spaces and other safety precautions to ensure the safety of our students and faculty. For specific questions about your program, please reach out to school administration.

International students: Students that hold the F-1 student visa who register for a full-time course load and are registered for at least one course that is face-to-face, or hybrid that requires a physical presence on-campus or in-person learning during the course, will be able to maintain their F-1 immigration status and remain in the U.S. for Fall quarter. Please contact International Student and Scholar Services at intlstdsrv@llu.edu or 909-558-4955 for questions.
