The health and well-being of our students, faculty, staff, patients, their families, and our entire community is vitally to Touro Nevada. The impact of this virus is unprecedented and we ask for your patience as we continue to adjust and address your questions and concerns.
Touro University Nevada closed campus at Noon on March 18, 2020 for a minimum of 30 days or until Monday, April 20, 2020.
This includes the Sigesmund Pierce Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities and the Touro Health Center. Medical providers of the Touro Health Center will remain available by telephone for our existing patients to assist them with their needs.
What this means to you
This means that all non-essential employees, all students, and all scheduled patients and visitors have vacated the building and are not allowed to return until given specific instructions to do so by the University administration. Essential employees are those limited staff who have been identified, authorized, and notified by senior University administration. The University administration may authorize additional essential staff on a case-by-case basis.
Access to the campus is restricted and badges will not work to gain entrance to campus facilities.
Classes are continuing online and through remote access to academic resources. Some clinical rotations are currently suspended, and students should work with their clinical coordinators and program directors to discuss the status of their program and to address any questions or concerns. Academic and business continuity plans have been developed and are now being deployed to keep the University’s operations functional through this temporary physical campus closure.
We recognize that these are unprecedented and ever-changing times, but as Nevadans and citizens of the world we must do all we possibly can to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and keep our community healthy and safe. We greatly appreciate the commitment our students, faculty, and staff have made to this effort, and most of all are grateful for your patience and understanding.
