  • THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY PLAN for FALL 2020 Prepared for the District of Columbia Office of Planning and D.C
    THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY PLAN FOR FALL 2020 Prepared for the District of Columbia Office of Planning and D.C. Health UPDATED JULY 29, 2020 Executive Summary The George Washington University’s foremost priority is our community’s health and safety, and we have made the decision to hold all undergraduate courses online for the fall semester, with limited exceptions. We will provide housing on campus only for a limited number of students who have extenuating personal or academic circumstances. Residential students will attend courses online and will be expected to comply with public health and safety measures including social distancing, mask wearing and regular testing for COVID-19. Additionally, most graduate programs will be conducted online, with certain programs holding discipline- specific in-person classes. We are fortunate to have on our faculty world-class expertise in infectious disease and epidemiology, and the decision we’ve made has been guided by our medical and public health leadership, applicable federal and local requirements and recommendations, and our service priorities of safety and care. We have been keeping our community updated as fall planning progresses and sharing public health information via websites dedicated to COVID-19 updates and fall planning and regular email communications. We have also developed a hotline and solicited input and feedback from the university community. Our planning efforts, collectively our Back to Campus initiative, are comprehensive, and address the modifications necessary to
