Assuming these criteria are not adjusted between now and then, in order to begin Fall semester in hybrid study mode (which allows for face-to-face; see definitions below) there must be fewer than 25 new cases per 100,000 people in the country. If the number of cases is more than 25 per 100,000, then we will be required to proceed in remote mode.
