A message about Fall: Back to campus! 30 Apr, 2021
Dear Faculty and Staff:
With the guidance and approval of President McConnell and the Pandemic Preparedness Team (PPT), we have started the process of returning our classrooms to full capacity for the fall, based on the new vaccine requirements. We are informing you about our efforts to move the vast majority of our classes back to in-person. We will also send the message below later this morning to current students and also will be informing our prospective students.
We are working with the Office of the Registrar, Deans and Department leadership and schedulers, and other divisions at CSU to make this shift for online and hybrid classes to in-person, and restore current face-to-face classes to full capacity. Specifically for faculty: if you have any questions about your courses, please consult with your department scheduler or your chair/head.
