Based on the recommendations of the º£½ÇÉçÇø System Task Force, the Board of Trustees believes that the UA System can best fulfill its core mission of teaching, research, and service by resuming on-campus activities in the Fall 2020 semester.

It is our duty at the º£½ÇÉçÇø System to maintain the academic, operational and financial integrity of our three campuses and the UAB Health System.

º£½ÇÉçÇø has created a task force led by UAB Health System experts to develop plans for the three º£½ÇÉçÇø System campuses â€” º£½ÇÉçÇø, º£½ÇÉçÇø at Birmingham and º£½ÇÉçÇø in Huntsville â€” to be the safest universities in America when on-campus instruction resumes.

º£½ÇÉçÇø — composed of UA, UAB, UAH and the UAB Health System — is on the front line of communication with media and the citizens of Alabama as we work together during this health crisis.

º£½ÇÉçÇø continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 outbreak. Today System officials issued guidance advising against any non-essential domestic travel at this time, particularly to large conferences with attendees from multiple states or locations that have declared a state of emergency due to the virus.

Effective today the º£½ÇÉçÇø System has cancelled university-sponsored international travel departing during the month of March. Regarding university-sponsored international travel beyond March, those decisions will be assessed as public health conditions warrant.
