Returning to Campus
UTA continues to monitor official sources as we plan course instruction and safe, phased return to campus in preparation for the fall 2020 semester. The UTA Repopulation Executive Planning Task Force, working in close coordination with the Fall Academic & Course Planning Task Force, has been developing a phased approach to safely resume increased activity on campus.
RETURN TO CAMPUS AND FALL 2020 ACADEMIC PLAN
A phased return plan for faculty and staff has been developed to prepare for the resumption of classes in Fall 2020. Courses will be taught face-to-face, online or as a hybrid of the two.

Fall 2020 courses: Online, face-to-face or hybrid
UTA students can now see which Fall 2020 courses will be taught face-to-face, online or as a hybrid of the two so they can begin planning for the upcoming academic term.
Face-Covering Protocol
The University implemented a face-covering protocol, effective June 10, 2020. Everyone on campus is required to follow this protocol.
COVID-19 Return-to-Campus Training
All Faculty and Staff are required to complete the COVID-19 Return-to-Campus Training in Canvas before the start date of the repopulation phase that includes their department.
Protecting Our Community
UTA always recommends our community members follow CDC and public health guidelines, which are similar to what is recommended during cold and flu season, including:
- Stay home if you are sick and seek medical attention.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve when coughing or sneezing.
- Wash your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based sanitizer.
The Office of Facilities Management has increased its sanitization of public spaces on campus, including focused sanitization of touch points such as handrails, door handles, common spaces, common area seating and tables, etc. Additional hand sanitizer dispensers have been installed across campus as well.
