Many universities are checking in to give guidance to students and families regarding plans for on-campus instruction in the fall of 2020. Because of the Covid-19 Coronavirus outbreak, nearly all American colleges and universities are currently delivering academics via virtual classes. Almost 99% of current American college students have returned to their homes and college campuses are mostly empty.

Of those who have reported, the majority have indicated that they are committed to delivering on-campus face-to-face instruction in the fall or have not yet committed, but are planning to do so. Top-choice universities like Harvard, the Claremont Colleges, Haveford, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have announced that they are committed to holding classes in person this fall. Among Texas colleges and universities, no commitments have been communicated as of yet (April 28, 2020). The University of Texas at Austin is expecting to announce fall 2020 plans at the end of June.
