Plans for Fall Semester: Virginia Tech has announced plans for Fall Semester to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including a program of comprehensive testing, tracing, and case management. Fall Semester courses will be delivered online, in-person, or using a hybrid approach, depending on class size and subject matter. In-person classes will be limited in size to permit physical distancing, face coverings will be required, and all applicable government-issued sanitation and hygiene guidelines will be followed.

Our research laboratory is already operating under an approved COVID-19 mitigation plan. Date: Jul 20, 2020
