This law extends the converted to remote training provision to allow students who are registered for “Other Distance Mode” courses to be certified as on campus for housing allowance of chapter 33 payments. Courses that are listed as other distance mode as delivery mode will be certified as in-person. This extension will end on June 1st, 2022, be sure to register for a fully on campus or hybrid course during the summer 2022 so that you are not negatively impacted if COVID provisions are not extended further.
