The University of Iowa has cancelled all summer activities and moved all summer classes to online only due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Classes for Summer Sessions 1-3, which begin May 19th, have already been moved to an online format. On Friday, the UI announced that Session 4, which begins on June 15th, and Session 5, which begins on June 29th, have also been moved to online-only.

Clinical and experiential activities will continue to be addressed on a program-by-program basis.

The UI also announced on Friday that it will not offer in-person summer programs for the remainder of summer 2020 (through Aug. 7th). Summer programs include but are not limited to youth programs, sports camps, wildlife camps, research programs, conferences/workshops, and other programming for adults.

The school says departments and units requesting to conduct virtual summer programs for minors must follow the guidance laid out in the university’s Minors on Campus Policy, including program registration.

All other events scheduled to be held on the UI campus during the summer will be canceled through July 31st.

The university plans to resume face-to-face instruction this fall.
