(Image credit: Stacy H. Geiken & L.A. Cicero) - Mandates imposed by the county and state based on the evolving COVID-19 pandemic may prompt changes in the university's fall undergraduate academic and housing plans. Final decisions about fall plans are targeted for mid-August. Contingency plans for undergraduate housing and study on campus are being created by Stanford administrators to account for any expansion in restrictions mandated by the nationwide surge in COVID-19 cases. The university's need to remain flexible in planning for the fall was communicated to undergraduate students and their families by Sarah Church, vice provost for undergraduate education, and Susie Brubaker-Cole, vice provost for student affairs, in the Wednesday Re-Approaching Stanford newsletter. "State and county orders may prohibit our on-site activities if case numbers locally do not improve," they wrote. "For these reasons, we may need to change plans, and we will reach a decision in mid to late August." Church will also be communicating directly with Stanford faculty and instructors with more details about the fall contingency planning process.
