Academics
We continue to plan for a safe return to largely in-person instruction and activities this autumn. As a public research university, we’re fortunate to have experts in medicine and public health who’ve been studying the pandemic from its beginning. We understand much more about the virus now than when it emerged, and Washington state’s vaccination levels are trending in a very positive direction.
Since the UW is on a quarter system, we have even more time to prepare classrooms and campus facilities for the start of autumn quarter on Sept. 29. Our experts know how to ready the UW’s living, learning and working spaces so you can come to campus for largely in-person classes and activities. These preparations and all of our decisions will follow public health guidelines to protect your health and safety.
