As the leaders of our nation rush to implement strategic plans and proactive measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus, CFNI has decided to officially transfer our educational experience from our day school, and allow our students the opportunity to complete the remainder of their spring 2020 semester online. CFNI’s online school will officially begin on Monday, March 30, 2020 at 8am.

With the decision to transfer online, we know many of you would prefer to return to your homes and families during this international crisis. We have also been receiving phone calls from some of your parents and family members who are desiring for you to be with them. We understand and agree. Based on this, our campus will be partially closed as of Friday, April 3, 2020 at 5pm. For students in need, such as some of our internationals, who are unable to leave the USA and would prefer to remain on campus, you are welcome to do so. We are a family and CFNI is your home away from home.

We will therefore not resume our on campus classes on Monday, April 6, 2020 as was previously communicated. We apologize for any and all inconveniences this may have on you and your family, but do believe this decision to protect and safeguard your health is our top priority at this critical time. This was a difficult decision to make, but we all thought it necessary and beneficial for everyone involved. We are also mindful of the potential impact on our instructors, staff members, and our on campus residents.

We have put together a process for this transition to work smoothly for you. Please go to your CAMS student portal starting Saturday, March 21, 2020 at 1pm (Central Time) and fill out a newly added form to begin the process of leaving or remaining on campus. Every student is required to complete this form as it will affect your housing, meal plan and preschool reimbursements.

We are kindly asking that you be patient and flexible with us during this transition. We know you will have many questions now that you are allowed to return home to your families. We will try our best to provide answers in your CAMS portal on Tuesday, March 24 at 1pm. Your deans are also available to help you during this time as needed.

Amid the ongoing challenges with the coronavirus, there is a, “peace that surpasses all understanding”. We pray this peace from Jesus over you and your loved ones. We will get through this! We will overcome, and God will get all the glory out of it.

Serving together,
CFNI Leadership
