SAN ANGELO, Texas — Angelo State University students will return to in-person instruction in the fall, according to a message from the school's president Friday.
Here is the message from Angelo State President Ronnie D. Hawkins Jr. regarding AUS’s plan for the Fall 2021 semester:
"I am excited to announce that Angelo State University will return to face-to-face instruction as our primary academic format for Fall 2021. Classes that were taught face-to-face before the start of the pandemic will return to that format for the Fall 2021 term.
For the Summer 2021 terms, we will offer online courses to meet student demand, but will also provide in-person courses, at 75% classroom capacity, for our students who choose to spend the summer here in San Angelo.
For us to be successful and keep our campus community healthy and safe, I encourage everyone to continue to follow the guidance of medical professionals and to consider getting the COVID-19 vaccine. We will review the need for continued safety protocols for the summer and fall at the end of the spring semester.
The health and safety of our campus community remains our top priority. Should conditions change, we will have a contingency plan in place and be prepared to pivot.
I know this year has been one filled with challenges, and I thank you for all the sacrifices you have made, as well as your patience and cooperation as we navigated the changes of the last year. There truly is no family like the Ram Family, and I look forward to welcoming our entire family back to campus this fall.
Rams Rise!
Ronnie D. Hawkins Jr
President
Angelo State University"
