In light of the steadily increasing number of new cases of COVID-19 across the U.S. and the experience of some colleges over the summer, where small numbers of students returning to campus resulted in outbreaks of the virus, schools are having to re-evaluate how to handle this unprecedented situation. Many schools are opting to conduct classes exclusively online or create some type of hybrid program for the Fall 2020 semester, while others have elected to postpone their on-campus start dates. Since the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and continuing to evolve, it's best for students to check with their schools directly for the most up-to-date information.
