The university said the Summer A and the Summer C terms will be scheduled with current social distancing classroom capacities in place.

However, the Summer B and Fall terms will be scheduled with physical distancing restrictions removed and pre-COVID-19 classroom capacities restored.

“Our expectation is to fully utilize all 207 general-use classrooms, plus additional classrooms when needed,” the university said.

FIU is delaying Summer and Fall registration by a week to allow for the new schedule to be built.

“Because of the fluid nature of the pandemic, we will remain flexible and agile,” FIU said in a statement. “If the situation requires a return to physical distancing for Summer B or Fall, adjustments can be made following recommendations from university leadership.”
