Sacramento State University is looking to move what few in-person classes it’s offering this semester online.
School officials are making the transition in response to surging COVID-19 case numbers. Almost of all of Sacramento State's classes already are being taught virtually this semester with just a handful of exceptions, including theater, art and music courses.
"Given the significantly increasing cases of COVID in our region and throughout the state of California, we wanted to even double down on our minimization of the number of people on campus," said University Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs Steve Perez.
Faculty have been asked to reassess the in-person courses and school officials will make a final decision about whether to shift to virtual instruction later this week.
"Everybody’s wearing masks all the time," Perez told KCBS Radio of the campus. "We’ve got an app that we ask people to (download) when they come to campus that has a self-assessment checklist."
Any students living on campus have the option to move out for the remainder of the semester with housing fees refunded. School employees who can work remotely are now required to do so.
