UW-Madison announces ‘Smart Restart Plan’ for fall semester

UW-Madison plans to begin fall classes as scheduled on Sept. 2 with in-person instruction and a full curriculum. After Thanksgiving, UW-Madison will switch to a virtual format for the final nine days including exams. UW-Madison made this decision based on the likelihood that students leaving and returning to Madison over the Thanksgiving recess would increase the risk for COVID-19 infections on campus.
