University leaders plan to open the 2021 spring semester with an in-person return.
University officials will continue to monitor the pandemic situation closely and be ready to make any adjustments, including moving to remote or other models for delivering instruction, should that become necessary.
As part of our return for spring semester 2021, Mizzou is implementing undergraduate student arrival testing for COVID-19.
Arrival testing will be mandatory for undergraduate students living in university residential housing and an option for all other undergraduate students.

University leaders announced the decision to shift a majority of in-person undergraduate and graduate courses to remote learning for the last three weeks of instruction and final exams following Thanksgiving break.
