FULL SAIL UNIVERSITY fullsail.edu
COVID-19 has presented unique challenges
to universities across the globe, and Full Sail
University continues to work hard to keep
students, faculty, and staff safe and engaged.
With a robust culture of innovation and
technological expertise and more than a decade
of experience with online degrees, Full Sail
was able to quickly and seamlessly help
over 5,000 students transition to a fully
online learning model in March. The school
also introduced a range of initiatives to benefit
its students and the surrounding community,
including virtual orientations and graduations,
live streaming panels and lectures, film
contests, scholarships, first-responder support,
and more.
INNOVATION
CONTINUES
at Full Sail During COVID-19
STUDENT WORK
Online Student Seminars
In March 2020, Full Sail quickly flipped campus-based workshops, panels,
and lectures into an online format to continue granting students access to
insight from experts in their fields.
The university’s Recording Arts program hosted online discussions with
grads like Jordan “DJ Swivel” Young (BTS, Beyoncé, Chainsmokers) and
Sebastian Krys (Elvis Costello, Alejandro Sanz). The Sportscasting degree
program has hosted dozens of Q&A sessions featuring ESPN anchors, radio
hosts, media business owners, and comedians. The Film program is also
connecting current students with notable graduates, including HBO’s Senior
Sage Steele Howie D Vice President of Studio & Production Services Stephen Beres and TV and
ESPN SportsCenter Anchor Backstreet Boys film executive Deborah Liebling (PEN15, South Park).
Projects
Full Sail students never stop creating, and they continued to stretch their wings
with projects from multiple degree programs. In the Digital Cinematography
degree program’s “Social Distancing Short Film Contest,” students created
short films using only a smartphone or iPad for shooting and editing. All of
the film’s characters had to follow social distancing measures. Full Sail’s Game
Design students completed Your Human is Sick, a free, downloadable game
about infection and the immune system that parents can use as a home
education tool.
Quarantine Marketing Battle
Music Business, Public Relations, and Graphic Design students partnered with
students from universities across the country to build and present marketing
plans to music industry professionals from Warner Records, The Shalizi Group,

STUDENT
COMMUNITY
Full Sail prides itself on giving students virtual experiences worth celebrating.
Incoming students learn about Full Sail’s digital platforms during Virtual Orientation,
while graduating students enjoy campus-wide and department-specific ceremonies to
commemorate their achievements.
Full Sail’s new scholarships and grading options are helping incoming students get in the
door and current students succeed. The Hardship Assistance and Technology Assistance
Scholarships help campus and online students offset COVID-19 related costs, while the
university’s electable Pass/Fail grading option allows students to earn course credits
without adding GPA stress to the mix.
The Career Development Department has also facilitated dozens of virtual seminars.
Each week, graduates and industry professionals join current students via Zoom to
share job search tips, give portfolio critiques, and answer general questions.
LABS
REOPENING
Since Full Sail’s campus closed in March, we’ve been working on
plans for how to reopen in a way that protects our students and
educators. That plan has included many changes to our cleaning
and sanitation processes, new measures like social distancing,
temperature checks, and mask requirements, and changes to lab
scheduling to reduce the number of people on campus at a time.
These changes allowed us to safely welcome a limited number
of senior students back to campus starting in July. Based on
that experience, starting in October, we re-opened the campus
further, inviting campus students back for labs and other small
on-campus experiences, even as we continue to assess the
situation and make any necessary updates or adjustments based
on local, state, and federal guidance. And for now, all lectures are
planned to remain online.
