USC announces it is planning a "full return to campus" for the fall semester.
According to a letter from USC President Carol Folt on the Office of the President's website, she wrote that includes in-person classes and residential life.
"Given the decline in cases and the vaccine rollout, we are planning for a full return to campus for the Fall semester, with in-person classes and residential life. We are well into implementing plans that will embrace multiple protective measures, including: a campus vaccination operation currently underway, which will be able to vaccinate 1,200 people a week when supply is more readily available; a testing program running twice weekly for undergraduates and weekly for all others accessing campus; and physical distancing measures along with classroom and outdoor facility reconfiguration to ensure the safe return of students, faculty, and staff," Carol Folt wrote.
She also wrote that libraries will be opened with limited capacity, as were swimming pools and the bookstore opened this week with appointment shopping.
"While we do not have approval, nor do we expect to receive it, for in-person classes this semester, we will be able to open our libraries at a reduced capacity, as well as our swimming pools, outdoor recreation areas, study canopies, and our bookstore opened this week for appointment shopping," she wrote Friday.
Folt also mentioned multiple scenarios regarding commencement later on this semester.
