RENO, Nev. (AP) — The University of Nevada, Reno has announced it will offer primarily in-person classes and student services when the fall semester starts in August.
The announcement came after the university said enrollment dropped below 20,000 this semester and most classes have been offered remotely because of the pandemic.
University President Brian Sandoval said he is “heartened” by the public health gains the state has seen with the introduction and distribution of vaccinations.
UNLV is also planning to offer most of its classes in-person, as well as campus facilities providing in-person services, university spokesman Tony Allen said.
Nevada State College in Henderson is aiming to offer about 70% of its fall classes with an in-person component, Provost and Executive Vice President Vickie Shields said in a statement on Monday. “In spring 2022 we plan to be back to an in-person campus for instruction.”
The College of Southern Nevada hasn’t yet announced fall semester plans.
