The University of Iowa has cancelled in-person youth programs for this summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

School officials say they came to the decision after considering the health and safety of program participants and UI students, faculty, and staff.

Youth programs would have run from May 15th to August 22nd, and usually include, but are not limited to, academic programs, research, sports camps, and wildlife camps. Those who want to conduct virtual programs for minors must follow the guidance laid out in the university’s Minors on Campus Policy (provost.uiowa.edu/minors-campus-policy), including program registration. Additionally, programs should refer to the Online Youth Programs Manual for specific requirements regarding virtual programming.

Exception requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. To request an exception, please contact the Office of the Provost at provost-office@uiowa.edu.
