While classes remain largely remote for Summer 2021, Northwestern plans to return to in-person instruction in Fall 2021. Unvaccinated members of the Northwestern community will need to take health precautions when on campus, including use of the Symptom Tracker app and face coverings indoors.
Given the current status of the State of Illinois’ reopening plans, Northwestern permits the hosting of events, provided that participants observe the applicable health and safety guidelines on matters such as masking.
Most visitor restrictions have been lifted. The only remaining restriction is on minors in residential programs.
Visitors are expected to comply with applicable health and safety guidelines on matters such as masking.
Programs and activities for minors not enrolled at Northwestern, including pre-college students, must align with the Minors at Northwestern Policy as well as all relevant COVID-19 related health and safety protocols. Remote delivery and in-person day programming may be offered for this population. Residential or overnight programming is not permitted.
