#Harvard will hold all classes online next year — but still charge full tuition

Harvard University will hold all classes remotely next academic year, the famed institution announced Monday.

While the school will allow 40 percent of its students — mostly freshmen — to temporarily return to the Cambridge, Massachusetts campus in the fall, all instruction will take place online.

In the spring, the initial batch of students will leave campus and be replaced by seniors.

Sophomores and juniors, officials said, face the very real possibility of an entire year away from school with all classes taking place online.

Those who are allowed back on campus will be tested for COVID-19 every three days, and must wear masks and practice social distancing.

Harvard’s $49,653 annual tuition will remain the same, the school stated.

“Absent an effective vaccine or clinical therapy, this reduced density, together with a high-cadence viral testing program and universal adoption of public health practices such as face masks and frequent handwashing, is needed to safely host a significant number of undergraduates on campus,” Harvard officials wrote in a letter Monday.

Other Ivy League schools have taken similar steps in planning for the upcoming year in light of the coronavirus threat.

Princeton will split its enrollment in half and switch cohorts to allow all students one semester on campus.

The New Jersey school said it will shave 10 percent off of its tuition in light of COVID-19 disruptions.
