BOR gives updates on coronavirus initiatives
The UH Board of Regents delivered updates on the coronavirus case count and vaccinations Thursday.
The UH System’s efforts to monitor and limit the spread of COVID-19 on its campuses have, so far, gone according to plan with no significant increase in case counts and the distribution of Phase 1A vaccinations set in place for the coming week.
“From a big picture standpoint overall, the continued protocols for testing and other measures that we have had in place for some time have continued to pay dividends across our system,” said senior vice chancellor Raymond Bartlett.
Spring 2021: Looking ahead to a new semester
The spring semester will look different than a typical in-person semester, with the University continuing primarily remote operations. Here are some of the top stories to look out for in Spring 2021:
Campus
The University is currently operating under the
Plan B reopening procedures for Spring 2021. The plan limits the number of courses and personnel on campus. UH will offer 18 percent of all courses for the upcoming semester with a face-to-face option. This includes in-person and hybrid classes.
Free
Partnered with COVID-19 testing company
Curative, the University will offer a free, walk-up kiosk on campus where UH community members can receive a PCR saliva swab test with the presentation of their Cougar Card, regardless of whether they have symptoms.
