We believe that the threat of COVID-19 will continue to be a significant issue during spring semester. In order to help ensure that we can make a safe start, we have decided to begin spring semester classes remotely on Tuesday, January 19. We plan to return to in-person instruction in February. The precise date will depend in large part on State of Illinois guidance and the impact of COVID-19 on our local health system. So far Wheaton has been blessed by God’s provision and protection, but we understand that circumstances could change, forcing us to adjust our plans. Thus, we ask you to maintain an attitude of flexibility.

Negative COVID-19 tests will again be required for students to return to campus. Details regarding timing of residence hall openings, required check-in protocols, etc. will be forthcoming. More details about January graduate intensives will also be forthcoming from the program director.
