CSU plans to reopen all 23 campuses for fall 2021 term

California State University announced Wednesday that it plans to return to offering primarily in-person classes starting in the fall of 2021.

“It’s critical that we provide as much advance notice as possible to students and their families, as we have done previously in announcing our moves toward primarily virtual instruction,” CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White said. “While we are currently going through a very difficult surge in the pandemic, there is light at the end of the tunnel with the promising progress on vaccines.”

White retires at the end of this year and will be replaced by Fresno State President Joseph Castro in January.

“This decision comes at a good time as high school and transfer students have until December 15 to complete their applications for fall admission,” Castro said. “I urge eligible students across the Golden State to apply for admission to one or more CSU campuses.”
