@TigerInWinter - that’s an interesting approach by Princeton (if the rumor is true).
I agree. If a school is aiming to reduce density by 50%, it seems reasonable to have the freshman on campus in fall (so that they can become oriented) and seniors on campus in the spring (for graduation and so forth). And then you might as well have the juniors on campus in the fall and the sophomores in the spring, so that there’s some balance each semester in the proportions of upperclassman and younger students. I’m curious if any other schools will be doing it this way. (Actually, I shouldn’t say “other,” because we don’t yet know whether Princeton is really going to do this.)
USC California changes to mostly online https://ktla.com/news/local-news/usc-reverts-back-to-online-classes-for-fall-semester-a-month-after-announcing-students-would-return-to-campus/
Swarthmore will not require anyone to take or give classes in-person. Swarthmore and USC have been moved to “primarily online.”
Added Morehouse College, Portland State, Pratt Institute, Southern Illinois U., Spelman College, and Wellesley College to “neither/nor,” hybrid list.

https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2020/07/princeton-fall-announcement-not-july-2-covid
Dartmouth’s plan is to allow half of the students on campus in different terms, have almost all remote instruction, and require COVID-19 testing and a 14-day quarantine for students upon arrival. Option of all remote instruction.
Williams will reopen providing all students with the option to return and also reduced tuition by 15 percent.
Thanks, TennisParent. Per Williams President Maud Mandel’s announcement on June 29, “a significant percentage of courses will be entirely remote even for students on campus.”
This would indicate that Williams is closer to the “primarily online” model than the “neither/nor,” hybrid model - so adding Williams to the former category in the update, below. Nb. that category’s label has been shortened to read: “Classes are expected to be primarily or entirely online.”
Worcester Polytechnic Institute announced their intention to offer BOTH in-person and online options (“To the extent possible, undergraduate courses will be offered both in-person, online, or as a hybrid”) which seems closer to the predominantly in-person model; hardly any serious student paying tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege would choose remote learning over in-person.
Likewise, Western Kentucky announced that the vast majority of their courses will be in-person, stating that they have identified “190 courses [which] represent less than 5% of WKU’s fall 2020 offerings” and which may be transitioned to online IF the administration cannot find a way to deliver them with enough social distancing.
So Western Kentucky and WPI go into the in-person category, which has been re-labeled “re-open to primarily on-campus instruction.”

@thibault Swarthmore should be moved to the primarily remote list. This from the president’s June 30th letter to the community, “We expect that most classes in the fall — including all large lectures — will be held remotely, even for those students who are on campus.” https://www.swarthmore.edu/presidents-office/plans-upcoming-academic-year
Haverford should be moved to the hybrid list based on their latest plan released on July 2nd. “Students should expect a mix of remote and in-person learning strategies this fall…Overall, about half of all courses will be offered remote-only and the other half offered with in-person meetings that will also accommodate remote students.” https://www.haverford.edu/coronavirus-information
Thank you, gotham_mom.
Haverford moved to “neither/nor,” hybrid list.
At this point an interesting question would be what PERCENTAGE of classes offered to undergraduates by each college are:
- offered only in distance/remote format;
- offered in-person (or with the option of attending in-person)
Western Kentucky U. indicated that over 95% of their undergrad classes are likely to be offered in-person. Perhaps they’re playing games with that actual percentage (e.g., by counting independent study offerings as “classes” delivered in-person), but regardless, that’s an encouragingly specific commitment to students and parents.
It would be very helpful to know whether other schools are making a similar commitment – as opposed to hiding behind the vague “hybrid” language that could mean anything from nearly all a student’s classes offered only online to more than half offered in-person.

Cornell has announced a “neither/nor,” hybrid approach.
Yale has announced a mostly online approach: “for most lectures and seminars — as well as other small-format courses such as writing classes and introductory language classes — the bulk of instruction will be conducted remotely.”
Which means that four of eight ivies (HYP + Dartmouth) will be mostly online, two (Cornell and Penn) will pursue a “neither/nor,” hybrid approach, and one (Brown) will be mostly open. Still waiting to hear from Columbia.

Barnard. I am an alumna. This is from an email i got.
You can expect to see some changes to the class experience:
• We have joined the larger Columbia community in making changes to the academic calendar, enabling students to take classes over a Fall, Spring, and Summer term and to take immersive classes that occur in an A or B block for each semester.
• All classes will be offered remotely, with many classes offered in a “high-flex” modality that allows for simultaneous in-person instruction. Large lecture classes will only be offered remotely.
• Any student who wishes to study remotely for all or any part of the year is welcome to do so.
• International students who study remotely will have opportunities to be involved in academic programming at the Columbia University Global Centers around the world.
• Students will be able to confirm and change their course registration in late July and August.
Fall Semester: First-years and eligible sophomores will be invited to live on campus and must complete a new Fall Housing Form by July 20 to indicate whether or not they intend to live on campus.
Entering sophomore transfer students, junior and senior Resident Assistants, Orientation Leaders, students in other leadership roles, and students with extenuating circumstances (e.g., situations that make online learning nearly impossible, students who have academic work that is best conducted on campus in the Fall) may apply for an exception to live on campus, though housing is not guaranteed.
Spring Semester: Eligible juniors and seniors will be invited to live on campus.
Entering junior transfer students, students in leadership roles, and students with extenuating circumstances (e.g., situations that make online learning nearly impossible, students who have academic work that is best conducted on campus in the Spring) will be given the opportunity to apply for Spring housing. Depending on public health and capacity, we hope to be able to safely accommodate many first-years and sophomores for on-campus spring housing as well.
Summer Semester: Students who register for summer classes can apply to live on campus. Our goal is to accommodate all applicants.
Barnard is implementing a number of changes for students living on campus:
• All students will be assigned to single-occupancy rooms in the residence halls.
• Students will have assigned bathrooms, with drastically reduced density in corridors with shared bathrooms. Bathrooms will be cleaned with increased frequency.
• Residence hall spaces and bathrooms will be set aside for student isolation as needed. Self-isolating students will have access to 24-hour clinicians on call and receive meal deliveries.
• In addition to testing upon arrival, residential students will be required to produce a negative PCR test result in advance of arriving on Barnard’s campus.
• Dining will be reconfigured to allow for staggered meals in a safe manner, with more grab-and-go options and limits on the size of gatherings.
• Barnard’s New Student Orientation Program (NSOP) will be a mix of in-person and virtual programming so that students can participate wherever they are.
• Residential move-in will be staggered over several days, and depending on New York State guidelines, students may be required to quarantine upon arrival.
Also, this nugget about Barnard.
All students are able to take classes over three semesters, even though they will be charged for only two semesters. Bills and financial aid award letters will be sent out in the next two weeks.
I have a colleague who designed a new, high-end hotel that’s owned by Colby. They’ve decided to turn it into student housing for this year. They are going to install inexpensive finishes and remove them before opening it as a hotel. Smart thinking! He said there are lots of details that have to be changed such as card entry and laundry facilities (hotel laundry rooms aren’t sufficient for kids’ stuff).
Thank you Thibault, I think you should note that Williams is allowing all classes back.
Thank you, allyphoe and silverpurple. Barnard and Oklahoma State added to “primarily in-person.” (U. of Oklahoma was already listed under same.)
George Mason U., George Washington U., U. of Kentucky, U. of Minnesota and Washington & Lee will be primarily in-person.
Pomona College will be exclusively online (“In this unfolding emergency, we will not be able to bring students back to campus in the fall”).
Scripps College will be exclusively online in the Fall but aims to have some (unspecified) degree of in-person instruction in the Spring (“The Administration and Board of Trustees of the College have determined that our community can best achieve its mission and maintain safety by offering Scripps classes online during the fall 2020 semester and a residential experience in spring 2021”).
Duke is pursuing a “Neither/nor,” hybrid approach aiming at maximum flexibility.
Columbia has announced a “Neither/nor,” hybrid approach aiming at maximum flexibility and choice for professors (“As we move back into a partial in-person educational environment, questions will inevitably arise about who will provide this teaching. It is important, therefore, to say at the outset that the University will not prescribe an approach for individual faculty members. Faculty will have leeway to teach in person, online, or some combination of the two, in consultation with their schools”).
Stony Brook U. announced that “All larger lecture classes will be done remotely, and there is a 45-person maximum cap on all in-person classes. Small on-campus classes will meet in person in larger venues to allow for social distancing.” On July 10 they’ll announce which particular classes are in-person and which are remote. Will wait to assign SBU to a category after they release the list – if most classes are in-person, they’ll go into the “primarily in-person” category, otherwise, into the “Neither/nor” hybrid category.
TennisParent,
Actually Williams (to its credit) has listed every undergraduate course and whether it will be taught in “Hybrid” fashion ie some in-person and other students remote or else 100% “Remote.”
I don’t have time to tally all the courses but I did a survey of four disciplines and found that slightly more than half were “Remote,” with none of the remainder being entirely in-person.
So no reason to change Williams’ status from “Classes are expected to be primarily…online.”
