To allow for cohorts to complete testing and shelter in place on arrival, some students may not be able to attend classes in person until after Jan. 26. Accordingly, we are adjusting our teaching modality to fully remote for the first two and a half weeks of the semester. Classes will begin remotely on Jan. 10. Exceptions to this rule may be made by approval of the dean for programs and classes that need to meet in person. Classes will take place fully in person beginning on Jan. 27.
