NC State continues to work with county and state health officials to monitor and respond to the evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. NC State is implementing the following actions to keep our campus community safe and to limit the potential of COVID-19 impacting our ability to fulfill the university’s core academic mission:
- NC State will begin its 2020-21 academic year on Aug. 10, nine days earlier than originally scheduled, and will forgo fall break in order to complete the semester before Thanksgiving, including finals. Students will not return to campus after Thanksgiving for the remainder of the calendar year. Find out more about the new semester.
- All classes for spring 2020 and summer sessions 1 and 2 2020 will be held online. Please regularly check the summer sessions website for updated information and new summer online course options.

- The majority of NC State employees will continue working remotely until further notice.
- Chancellor Woodson has named 10 task forces to finalize recommendations for the reactivation of NC State over the summer in preparation for a successful fall semester. Learn more about the task forces.
