Ferris’ President David Eisler confirmed in a press release last week that the university still plans to return to “normal operations” for the fall 2021 semester.

“Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Ferris State University has been able to stay open, and remain open, while providing a safe and healthy living, learning and working environment for students, faculty and staff,” Eisler said. “With the extremely low number of COVID-19 cases on our campus and in our community, and with vaccines now available, we look forward to providing a fully in-person learning experience for our students. We are pleased and excited to be welcoming all students back to the Big Rapids campus, Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids and our off-campus locations.”

The university plans to reopen with 84% of classes projected to be hosted in person. This comes after the spring 2021 semester was only 38% in person with 8% of that being HyFlex.
