Columbus State University is planning to return to face-to-face instruction for the fall 2020 semester, should guidance from the University System of Georgia and public health officials allow it. A Return to Campus Task Force, comprised of more than 60 faculty and staff, are working to develop a plan for students, faculty, and staff to return to campus with social distancing policies in place.

 “I am incredibly proud of the way our faculty, staff, and students quickly adjusted to online learning in the spring and summer semesters. They have exemplified creativity, innovation, compassion, and adaptability,” said CSU President Chris Markwood. “Now it is time for us to begin plans to reunite. I’m confident and optimistic that we will return to campus an even stronger and closer community than ever before. The safety of our entire campus community and the educational success of our students will remain our top priority as we navigate this new path forward.”

As previously announced, the Maymester and Summer semesters will be online only.
