DePauw announced its new plan for the fall semester in an email from President White and web update this afternoon.
Students who will be allowed back include:
-First-year, sophomore (Class of 2023) and new transfer students who want to live and study on campus
-International students who must remain on campus due to travel and government regulations
-Students whose home environment is not conducive to academic success
-Students who exhibit particular academic risk
-Selected student leaders, including some RAs, peer mentors and organizational, and Greek leaders
If possible, all students will be welcomed back in the spring semester, with Juniors and Seniors having priority if necessary.
The plan will allow DePauw to provide single-occupancy rooms to each student and maximize cooperation with health and safety guidelines.
A new fall semester schedule is in place as well:
-August 31, classes begin
-November 20, last day of on-campus classes
