Remote Instruction in The School of Design and Modified Return in Fall 21

To limit the potential of COVID-19 spreading within our local community, President Mahoney suspended almost all face-to-face instruction for the 20/21 school year. All of our Summer 2021 classes remain online.

We are working on a modified return for Fall 2021; about 50% of our offered course sections will have some or all sessions on campus. We are offering some studio classes fully in-person, many studio classes as Hybrid (1 session per week in person and the other session online), more as modified Hybrid (between 3 and 7 sessions in person, the remaining sessions online). The remainder of our schedule is online, in a combination of Synchronous, Asynchronous and Online Hybrid offerings. Please see the Fall 21 schedule for each class section's details. If a student has an in-person class scheduled, with an online offering scheduled right after, we are establishing spaces in the department that students can use to access online classes with their laptops and headphones.

Building Access in Summer 21

As the campus opens up, faculty and students can see which areas are open, and when by visiting the Campus Plan.
