We look forward to welcoming you back to campus for the spring semester and aim to do so in the safest manner possible.
Starting Jan. 24, classes requiring onsite activities will be in person as scheduled. There will be other classes that will move online that week to provide students and instructors with time to get tested, get vaccinated (including booster shots), and acquire N95 or surgical-style masks, which are now recommended. You will receive follow-up messages from your instructors by Jan. 19 confirming the format of each of your classes.
Starting Jan. 31, classes will generally be held in the original format listed in PAWS. That means classes scheduled to be in person will be in person. Those originally scheduled as hybrid or online will use those formats.
UWM residence halls are open, and students are expected to move in as scheduled, beginning Saturday, Jan. 22. A special testing clinic will be available on the Milwaukee campus from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 23. Isolation space is available for residential students who test positive.
Please know that we are committed to keeping all three of our campuses open, while taking appropriate precautions to ensure the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff. In the rest of this message, you will find more information on booster shots, testing, masks and services to help make this a safe and successful semester.
