UC Berkeley announced on Wednesday it will offer limited in-person classes this fall, with the option of attending courses entirely online.
“The in-person classes will be restricted to a small number of people, as dictated by factors including public health guidance and our own building density guidelines,” the university said. “Instruction in large courses will be offered by remote means. ”
The university is planning to release the course schedule in July. Tuition and fees will be the same regardless of whether courses are online or in-person.
Up to 6,500 students will be allowed to live on campus, the university said, and they may have to undergo COVID-19 testing. Campus dining will be on a “to go” basis. The university’s plans still need to be approved by local public health authorities.
