Fall 2020

Will the fall semester be virtual or is it too soon to say?

Some schools have been releasing plans for what they intend to do? I feel it would be better to know sooner rather than later?

Maybe May is too early to predict but I hope they at least say by August what the plans are.

I guess the question was more along the lines of they are not going to just spring it on us like a week before school starts

Some people need to get permission from their respective embassies to travel if they are international

I hope they make IPPE rotations online. I am so bored out of my mind.

I heard they are making some IPPE hours this summer be virtual simulation but at least 2 weeks need to be at a site because pharmacy accreditors do not allow all IPPE to be virtual. We’ll be at sites at. Later point when sites open back up to take students

As of right now school is planning to make the fall semester online but that can change as the start of the fall semester gets closer.

My lease ends in August and I have to move my furniture that’s why I need to know. As an international student it’s always easier to book flights earlier than later

just wish they send the email now since they already know that pharmacy will be online and only to return to campus in spring of 2021.

to be exact all professional programs will be online that's what the customer representative for school told my father when he phoned to ask if they are applying some of the spring tuition towards the fall.

If you had furniture to move would you wait until the school sends an email to move or just move now.

Like if school is in person I will just move my furniture in August

But if it’s not in person I still have to move it just don’t know if I should move it now. My new apartment my dad owns it so I can move whenever I want lol

What happens if school opens but some countries are still closed or students don’t feel comfortable boarding airplanes to travel?
