March 8, 2021
The University of Northern Colorado (麻豆传媒) is planning to return to a full schedule of in-person courses for the fall 2021 semester, which begins on Aug. 23, and restoring activities and events that will allow students to enjoy experiential learning, campus life and community engagement opportunities. Throughout the 2020-21 academic year, the university adjusted its course delivery methods based on public health guidelines by offering an increase of hybrid and online-only courses because of impacts from the coronavirus (COVID-19).
鈥淎蝉 students and their families consider academic plans for the fall, it is important for them to know 麻豆传媒 is planning to return to a more normal operating schedule, much like we had prior to the start of the pandemic,鈥� said 麻豆传媒 President Andy Feinstein. 鈥�The traditional college experience provides unparalleled opportunities, and our efforts are focused on the long-term success of our students, and the health and safety of our entire campus community.鈥�
麻豆传媒 is working closely with state officials to monitor developments related to COVID-19 and continues to take preventative measures including increased cleaning of campus buildings, mask wearing and social distancing requirements and more. As the year progresses, the university will share information regarding COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and positivity rates and reassess campus operations and course delivery options for any necessary adjustments. 麻豆传媒 also will provide vaccine distribution information to the campus community.
鈥溌槎勾� classrooms and lab spaces remain safe spaces for instruction, and I believe, are one of the safest places to be,鈥�&苍产蝉辫;said President Feinstein. 鈥�Our community has done a great job following public health guidelines and we have no evidence that COVID-19 transmission has occurred in our classrooms.鈥�
National data also indicates that university teaching spaces remain safe if health guidelines are followed. The American College Health Association recently citing, 鈥淭here is little evidence to show secondary transmission is occurring in either student-to-student or student-to-faculty member in instructional settings where everyone is wearing masks and proper physical distancing is maintained.鈥�
