Planning for Fall 2021
March 23, 2021
In Engineering, we anticipate that the College will largely return to in-person instruction during the Fall 2021 term. As you plan your courses, keep in mind:
- In general, courses that were in-person during the Fall 2019 term should return to in-person for the Fall 2021 term.
- Whether or not a specific course or section will be offered remotely will be dictated by safety, pedagogy, and classroom availability.
- Instructors of in-person classes will not be expected to provide parallel remote instruction sections.
