AU plans for more face-to-face classes in the fall
Ashland University recently announced plans to expand face-to-face activities and instruction for the fall 2021 term.
With COVID-19 infection rates continuing to drop and vaccines becoming more widely available, Ashland University recently announced plans to expand face-to-face activities and instruction for the fall 2021 term.
“While our plans remain subject to state and local health regulations and depend upon a number of factors,” AU President Dr. Carlos Campo said, “our intent is to return to 2019 practices as much as possible.”
Campo said the campus community has rallied over the last year to follow all health guidelines, and as long as that continues, students should expect more face-to-face instruction, dining, housing and co-curricular options for fall 2021.
The university is continuing COVID-19 protocols during the spring 2021 term including surveillance testing, mask wearing, social distancing, symptom monitoring and disinfection protocols.
“As conditions allow, we plan to institute cautious and safe step-down protocols to COVID-19 restrictions,” Campo said, noting limited mask wearing, symptom monitoring, testing and quarantine/isolation protocols will likely continue as necessary.
“We look forward to celebrating this coming fall with a return to a ‘new normal,’” Campo said.
