As shared in the all campus email on March 16, beginning Wednesday, March 18, university operations – where possible – will move
to a remote working environment until at least April 10, at which point the university
will reassess our overall situation.
Below is additional guidance and information for students during this transition.
Direct questions to this form on the coronavirus website so the information can be included in future communications and the FAQ on that site.
New remote learning website available
Information Technology Services has created a new remote learning resources page for students, which includes information on accessing classes via D2L, connecting
to the VPN, accessing Raynor Memorial Library resources remotely and more.
Student employees
The university will continue paying stipends to graduate assistants, residence hall
assistants and tutors. Per U.S. Department of Education guidelines, Federal Work Study
students will continue to be paid. Other students actively working on campus will
be paid their regular hourly wage. Hourly paid students who are not present on campus
and are not being asked to work remotely will not be paid. Supervisors of student
employees who are currently off campus can determine if remote work is an option for
students paid hourly. The university will continue to monitor this situation.
Campus buildings and services
Given that only a limited number of essential personnel are working on campus and
that only a small number of students are living in the residence halls – limited to
those who could not travel home to complete their studies remotely – the following
buildings and campus services will have different hours.
This list will be updated and is available on the university’s coronavirus website.
- Majority of academic and administrative buildings, including the Alumni Memorial Union: Most buildings will have faculty and staff access only via MUID card. Faculty, staff
and graduate assistants, teaching assistants and research assistants will have MUID
card access to their “home” building 24/7 and any additional buildings they currently
have 24/7 access to. Students will have MUID card access to Cudahy Hall during business
hours, to access the ITS Help Desk and computer lab.
- Al McGuire Center: Closed effective March 18 until further notice, with the exception of Sports Medicine,
which will be by appointment only.
- Athletic and Human Performance Research Center: Closed effective March 18 until further notice.
- Brew locations: Closed effective March 18 until further notice.

needing a replacement ID should send an email to marquettecard@marquette.edu and include a phone number at which they can be reached. An employee will contact
the person needing the ID and set up an appointment to issue the card.
- Catholic Masses: Archbishop Jerome Listecki has closed all Catholic Masses in Milwaukee to the public
through April 3. This includes all on-campus Masses and Masses at the Church of the
Gesu.
- Child Care Center: Remains open at this time; parents will be communicated with separately if this changes.
- Cudahy Hall: Open during business hours because of access to the ITS Help Desk and the computer
lab.

effective March 17 until further notice. All other dining halls are closed.

are in the campus area, please call rather than coming to the center in person.
- Marquette University Police Department: Fully operational; LIMO service running.

health official guidance. Clinics are communicating directly with their patients and
information is available on each clinic’s website.

Raynor’s website for changes to business hours).

Marquette Backpack Program available to help students facing food insecurity
The Backpack Program is a free and confidential service that provides groceries to
any Marquette student who is having difficulty accessing affordable, nutritious food
and other essential household items. No student will be turned away. Students should
fill out this intake form to participate. Faculty and staff who wish to donate can give online.
