Please refer to the In-Person Class Information document to learn which classes are designated to meet in-person under both the Elevated and Guarded Risk postures.
- Over the past month, some adjustments have been made to instructional delivery modes for the spring semester. Students should carefully review their class schedule prior to the start of classes.
