MOSCOW, Idaho — Washington State University and the University of Idaho have both said they plan to hold in-person classes again at the start of the 2020 fall semester.
WSU President Kirk Schulz tweeted on Thursday that the university planned on holding in-person classes again at all campuses in the fall in response to a thread about which colleges planned to reopen.
The University of Idaho is also planning on hosting in-person classes again starting on August 24, but only if the State of Idaho and the Idaho Health Department allow it.
The university has also announced on its website that a summer commencement ceremony is planned for 9:30 a.m. on August 1 in the Kibbie Activity Center, commonly known as the Kibbie Dome. The ceremony will take the place of the canceled spring commencement.
Both in-person classes and spring commencement were canceled due to the 2019 novel coronavirus pandemic, with classes instead taking place online.
The university said Class of 2020 graduates will have the option of taking part in the August ceremony, or in ceremonies in December 2020 or May 2021.
