Preparations for the spring 2021 semester
In preparing for the spring 2021 semester, the College remains committed to offering an in-person, residential experience for as many students as we can responsibly accommodate. We offer our spring plans with the full knowledge that the COVID-19 virus persists and our plans may need to be adjusted as we approach the start of the spring semester. The college will continue to work closely with public health experts, members of our community, and under the guidance of state and federal health guidelines to implement our plans for the spring semester, which will begin on February 1, 2021.
