Update from the Head in the Spectrometer
The Physics Department is operating remotely.
All Spring courses will be delivered remotely via Zoom and Canvas for the full quarter. Labs will be delivered remotely. Check the Canvas page for your course for details
We are running a reduced Colloquium and Seminar schedule this quarter through Zoom. Due to zoom hijackings, we will only be sending connection information to people who have signed up to receive announcements.
The main office will be working remotely. Please call (541) 737-4631 or email physics@oregonstate.edu instead of visiting in person.
Documents that need signatures should be scanned and emailed to the person who needs to sign them.
If you need assistance from the main office, please email physics@oregonstate.edu.
For undergraduate academic advising, please email phys-advising@science.oregonstate.edu with brief questions, or for more involved discussions set up a ZOOM meeting here.
The Wormhole will be virtually open on the usual schedule - instructors will provide connection information.
