The University of Texas at Austin has announced several short-term changes are needed as students and faculty start the spring semester.
The university said students will be notified as soon as possible if any of their courses will be taught with an in-person option.
UT Austin said it encourages students to gradually return to campus leading up to Jan. 31. All students returning to campus for the spring semester should receive a viral test within 72 hours prior to returning to campus or the surrounding community for in-person social activities, events or classes.
According to UT Austin, unit leadership will work with staff members to determine the level of staffing needed to continue operations and serve the university through Jan. 30, after which the university expects to return to the original plans for the spring semester. There will be no change in the Research Restart level or in density requirements at this time, but PIs are encouraged to arrange for a portion of their group to work remotely through the end of the month to allow for a more gradual increase in the laboratory occupancy, the university said.
