Returning to Campus


Our overarching goal since the start of the pandemic has been to reduce the number of students and faculty on campus to the greatest extent possible, while preserving graduation timelines. We have succeeded together.

With our Return-To-Campus in Fall 2021, we take a big step towards being "open to the future” at SCU. We take advantage of the flexibility of remote learning, while improving campus study and activity spaces to enhance and create powerful in-person community experiences. Further, we will maintain safety as we continue to respond to the pandemic and the evolving needs of students, faculty and staff.
