On-campus summer programs for adults will return to the University of Iowa this summer.

Pre-pandemic, the UI hosted on-campus summer programs for adults including research experiences for undergraduates, professional conferences and meetings hosted by UI departments, international summer fellowships and others. Last summer, due to COVID-19, those programs were canceled or held virtually.

The UI has now issued a statement saying that during summer 2021, programs for participants who are 18 or older have the option of being in-person and staying on-campus in pre-arranged university housing. Programs choosing to be in-person will need to adhere to UI guidance for classroom and workspace use, as well as for events and activities occurring outside of class or work. That includes classroom capacity of 50%, laboratory space limits, face masks, social distancing, etc..

The university has issued guidance regarding all in-person events and opportunities. The most updated guidance can be found at coronavirus.uiowa.edu/returning-work.
