At this time, it is our intention to take the following steps for the winter term with strict health and safety guidelines in place, along with regular screenin...g testing protocols: Undergraduates will be invited to return to campus in January. Most classes will continue to be taught remotely. Some face-to-face and hybrid classes will be offered for first-year students, juniors and seniors who require access to lab and studio classes. Current semester-based schools and colleges and graduate classes will continue with a mix of on-campus and remote instruction for the winter term and spring semester. Campus housing will reopen with single-occupancy room assignments. Watch a video of President Fry discussing our plans for the 2021 winter term: drexe.lu/3oGVsiL
