As the university prepares for the fall quarter, the health and safety of the DePaul community remains a top priority in all planning efforts. The university has taken various measures to protect the limited population returning to campus this fall.
Though only a limited number of classes will take place onsite, university staff have been diligently preparing the Lincoln Park and Loop Campuses to welcome students for the new academic year.
More than 100 classrooms have been equipped with Zoom capabilities and cameras to accommodate a variety of teaching modalities. Classrooms and common spaces have been reconfigured to promote social distancing and keep the DePaul community safe.
