COVID-19 is having a devastating impact on students and education. At Mos, all 200,000 of the students in our community have been affected by the crisis one way or another. I'm guessing you have been, too. The chaos and uncertainty around this pandemic is especially hard for students, and we know many of you feel like your futures hang in the balance.
That's why we put together this guide. Our goal is to give you all the advice, recommendations and templates you need to adapt to these unprecedented times. We'll be updating it constantly throughout this crisis. In the meantime, we're wishing you strength and safety 🙏
Here's what you'll find in this document:
<aside> ✉️ Don't rely only on your college's website being up to date. Things change quickly and your school probably won't have time to update it as quickly as developments come in. Read emails carefully, and call or email your school directly if you have questions.

<aside> 📝 Check out our templates. We've prepared communication drafts to make it easy for you to ask your questions and request refunds and deferments.

<aside> 👯 A request to your college could work better if it comes from a group. Example: if you're asking for a dorm room refund that's not covered under your college's standard policy, write a letter signed by 10+ of you. **Use our template letter →**
