Return to Campus Planning
Curry College students returned to residence halls and classrooms on campus for the Fall 2020 semester, and we currently plan that they will return to residence halls and classrooms on campus for the Spring 2021 semester as well. We know that the public health situation may develop in a number of ways, which may alter our plans; but we will always put our students first, taking many precautions to keep you and our campus as safe as possible.
Academics
In the interest of safeguarding against possible adverse future public health developments, as well as meeting learning requirements and ensuring that our students receive a full and unique Curry educational experience, the College has adopted emerging best practices and has made changes to the Spring 2021 Academic Calendar.
Financial Information
We realize that families may have COVID-related questions regarding financial aid, tuition and room and board.
Health and Safety
The most important question that families are asking is “Is it safe to be at Curry this Spring?” We want you to know that the College has instituted numerous protocols, precautions and changes to living and learning at Curry College, all designed to keep our entire community as safe as possible.

Athletics and Fitness
On March 3, the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) announced its decision to return to conference competition for the spring 2021 season. The planned start date is March 27, with sponsored competition exclusively against other CCC member institutions in the sports of Baseball, Softball, Men’s & Women’s Lacrosse and Men’s & Women’s Tennis.
Events
The current guidance in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts does not allow gatherings of more than 100 people indoors and 150 people outdoors. This impacts the College’s usual event schedule, from Commencement to theater productions. We will continue to follow all state guidance in this matter, and will offer a robust schedule of small in-person and virtual offerings to engage our community in the meantime.

Curry College has made it a priority to establish and with your help, maintain, the safest possible working environment for all employees.
