USC Plans To Return To In-Person Classes For Fall Semester

USC President Carol Folt announced that fall semester classes will begin on August 17th with no fall break, and finals will be held before Thanksgiving to reduce COVID-19 and flu spread. Most classes will be online, and the plan depends on COVID-19 trends and public health advice. Students must follow health guidelines, including social distancing and mask-wearing. USC will frequently disinfect spaces and expand testing and contact tracing.
