California State University is planning to reopen campuses for mostly in-person learning in the fall of 2021.
Saying there is light at the end of the tunnel with the coronavirus vaccine coming, California State University Chancellor Timothy White announced plans to reopen all 23 CSU campuses.
CSU Chancellor-select Joseph I. Castro, who will take over from White on Jan.4, urged high school students to complete their applications, which are due in a few days.
"We are approaching planning for the 2021 fall term with the goal of having the majority of our on-campus experiences returning," he said. “This decision comes at a good time as high school and transfer students have until Dec. 15 to complete their applications for fall admission."
Students can apply through the Cal State Apply website.
University officials say the current coronavirus surge makes it too soon to decide if in-person student activities can resume this summer. They’ll make that decision closer to the deadline for summer registration.
