Return to Campus
Due to the most recent public health data, Goucher College will conduct the fall semester entirely online.
The health and safety of our entire campus community continues to be the college’s highest priority. As we transition the fall semester online, Goucher is taking extensive precautions to keep the community safe while continuing to prepare for our future return to campus. The college’s Reopening Task Force continues its work to create an informed and comprehensive reopening plan using the guidance of local and state public health officials and the American College Health Association. Check this page for updates as the college’s multistep plan moves forward.
