Earlier this month, VSU announced that in an effort to ensure the health and safety of the University population, all classes would convert to a virtual or hyflex instruction for the first two weeks of the semester. VSU Administrators have carefully reviewed and assessed campus conditions, and are excited to welcome students back to campus for in-person and on-campus classes.   

“The past two-weeks of virtual learning allowed us an opportunity to assess data and campus conditions,” said Dr. Donald E. Palm, Provost and Senior Vice President.  “We have determined that our mitigation strategies which include requiring student COVID entry testing and full vaccination have worked effectively to minimize the health risks to our Trojan family.”
