Baylor and Purdue are sending mail in tests to students before allowing to return to campus.
In the meantime, give me your $$$$ by the end of July.
No details provided. Just that tests being mailed.

There will be many universities that will announce online classes only, right after tuition is due.

Auburn announced a few days ago that all their students will have to take tests.

It will be a clusterfrick, though, because the news has already been pushing a backlog in tests.

Probably the only tests collegiate Football players will take their entire time at their universities.

How does that work?

Are they not allowed to leave their house or have contact with anyone until school starts?

Unless they have rapid tests upon arrival & retest regularly then what is the point?

All Ivy going online. Rhodes and Christian Brothers in Memphis. List is blowing up with more everyday.
Send me your 5 figure check, take at test backlogged results for 10 days + and if you get a false positive, freak you.

But it’s voluntary. They can randomly kiss my arse. If every dam school is going online, I’ll just transfer to one of them. And LSU is gonna be just about 100% online by the time fall gets here. I only have 1 class on campus as of right now.

Makes sense. Negative Covid test to be on campus. Remainder online....better than cancelling school for 4 months.

That’s not really surprising. There are vaccinations that are required before going to college, so it’s not far fetched to think a COVID test and/or eventual vaccine will be mandated.
