Guide to Returning to Campus After Break Guide to Returning to Campus After Break Classes for spring semester begin on Monday, January 11, and the majority of MSU classes this spring will be offered face-to-face. The university will continue the precautions against COVID-19 that you're already familiar with from fall semester to reduce the risk of virus transmission as much as possible. Face masks are required on campus. Social distancing will be observed in classrooms and other areas on campus. Wash your hands often and use hand sanitizer when you can't use soap and water. Keep tabs on your health and stay home when you're sick.
