App State coronavirus information

---

Appalachian State is closely monitoring the developing COVID-19 situation, which continues to evolve rapidly.

While all units remain operational, modifications and precautions are being taken to support social distancing. Access to many campus buildings remains limited.

The university has transitioned to a system of alternative course delivery through Summer Session II. Summer Orientation will be held online.

Fall Semester will begin Aug. 17. The two-day Fall Break will be eliminated in order to hold our last day of classes on Nov. 24. The final exam period will remain unchanged. All final exams for Fall 2020 will be held online, with the exception of courses that require clinical or lab-based assessments. December Commencement will be held on schedule – at this time we are still planning for an in-person ceremony.

We are preparing for a return to campus in August with safety as our top priority. For many weeks, planning for Fall Semester and beyond has been underway. Find out more about this work and share input and questions here.
