MANSFIELD, Connecticut — UConn President Thomas Katsouleas sent out information on Friday, addressing staff, faculty, and students about the upcoming fall semester.
Katsouleas said that UConn's academic leadership and has been planning for multiple scenarios ranging from all courses remaining online to all course being in-person, or a combination of the two. UConn moved all classes online as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of Friday, no decisions have been made by UConn.
"Under any scenario, to help students continue their progress toward a degree, our aim is to provide enough online options for students who are in high-risk categories, are not comfortable returning, and for international students unable to return due to travel restrictions," said Katsouleas in a written statement.
Online summer classes have been extended. Students taking courses in Summer 2 term will now have to take online classes. Students who are staying on campus over summer can click here for more information on housing.
"This has certainly been a memorable semester, one in which our academic community pivoted to move all courses online, quickly developed a course about COVID-19 which became the biggest class in UConn history, our communities moved to telecommuting or critical status in order to keep our institution up and running, and our UConn Health heroes have continued to provide world-class care to a steady influx of patients," said Katsouleas.
