The University of Evansville is planning to return to normal operations for the upcoming fall semester. The university says it will offer most courses in-person and will offer online and hybrid courses as needed.

The university says the plans were developed in accordance with COVID-19 trends at the local, state, and national levels.

“Since the pandemic arrived last year, we have been looking forward to the day when we can safely return to normal,” said Christopher Pietruszkiewicz, president of the University of Evansville. “Even if there are precautions in place in the fall, we have every intention of providing the complete in-person college experience that is the foundation of our education at UE.”

Pietruszkiewicz also noted the university’s success in preventing the spread of COVID-19 on campus.

“Our entire campus community has been very dedicated to protecting those around them by following the protocols in place,” Pietruszkiewicz said. “It is thanks to the support of each member that we have made it this far and can confidently look ahead to the fall.”

UE says the fall semester, which is scheduled to begin August 25, will follow a normal class schedule.
