UL August 17th
ULM: August 17th
South Alabama August 17th
Coastal Carolina: August 19th

Out of curiosity, wha are y’all plans with classes (face to face vs online etc) and campus housing?

Coastal allowing on campus, move in already began. Was planned as full go face to face; then changed to first couple weeks virtual, before face to face. Now the delayed face to face has been altered to have 1/3 of classes attend face to face every third day in rotation... I.e. go live every third day, virtual the other 2 days. That’s supposed to last several weeks, then finally allow real face to face. Sounds like buying time.

ULM has on-campus housing at normal levels of capacity.

Since Louisiana is still only in Phase 2 of reopening, the maximum capacity of classrooms is cut in half. Professors have a lot of freedom in how they run their classes under these restrictions, and most are doing some sort of hybrid setup, although some are letting students stay virtual during their assigned in-person class day. Some classes went fully online (mostly those with older professors).

Masks are required inside every building on campus, and outside as well if 6 feet of social distancing isn't possible. Most buildings have ways of limiting contact inside, like one-way hallways and staircases, and designated entrances and exits.

I think I covered everything. It's been an interesting start to the semester.
