Wright State University’s spring instruction model will mirror this semester’s, although there could be a slight difference when classes start in January.
In addition, the school has started working on summer and fall 2021 schedules.
Meanwhile, the university has applied to be a COVID-19 vaccination site, officials said.
The university will continue its hybrid model that combines in-person, remote and flexible instruction in the spring, interim Provost Douglas Leaman told the board of trustees on Thursday. As has been the case this fall, about 70% of the instruction will be remote, he said.
However, school officials are mulling switching to 100% remote learning the first week or two of the spring semester, Leaman said, to give students time to quarantine, especially after possibly attending family or other holiday events that could spread the coronavirus.
Campus leaders will make a final decision on the plan in the coming days, he said.
Some institutions have cancelled spring break or spread the days out over the semester. But Wright State will not change its schedule, Leaman said, citing that only about 30% of classes will be in-person and the relatively low number of COVID-19 infections this fall.
