Spring 2021
Arcadia's Spring 2021 semester began Jan. 25 with a limited opening of campus that includes a selection of courses and academic and co-curricular experiences. Our plan remained All-Modes Ready to respond to the unpredictable paths of COVID-19 and this season's flu. Our decisions this year have been grounded in the health and safety of the Arcadia community, and that philosophy and our values will continue to drive University decisions moving forward.

Campus Usage
Undergraduate and graduate students not residing on campus in the spring semester will need to apply for campus usage. It is important to reiterate that such access would require strict compliance with all health and safety guidelines, including regular testing. Information and instructions on how to apply will be communicated to students in the coming weeks. Contact housing@arcadia.edu or 215-572-4026 for more information.
Study Abroad
Arcadia continues to offer a slate of global programs for the 2021-2022 academic year. Applications for fall 2021 are open for study abroad programs in England, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, Spain, and Wales, and a global internship program in Philadelphia. Arcadia’s summer 2021 study abroad programs include research projects, and internships both in-person and online. Applications are open for various Arcadia Abroad programs, including our Intensive Front-end Coding program, STEM summer research projects, and in-country and virtual internships.
Athletics
The Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) announced that effective Monday, April 5, member schools may exercise institutional autonomy with regards to having spectators at athletic events. Arcadia will begin permitting limited capacity at outdoor athletic events. Spectators will not be permitted at indoor contests. Pre-registration is required.

ARCADIASTRONG Community Commitment to Safe Practices
Success in the gradual resumption of campus operations is dependent on our access to testing, our contact tracing effectiveness, and our commitment as a community in remaining ARCADIA STRONG against COVID-19 and the flu. To safely expand our campus access and usage, our campus community will commit to a campus compact to protect and respect our community by embracing physical distancing practices, wearing masks, and limiting group gatherings. WEAR A MASK - WASH HANDS - SAFELY DISTANCE - LIMIT GATHERINGS.
Spring On-campus Instruction and Supplemental Programming
In addition to online learning, Arcadia is offering some All-Modes classes and supplemental programming opportunities that connect with some of our courses. Options include access to campus equipment and resources, art and design studios, and exploration of scientific concepts in laboratories can be found in our Courses and Supplemental Programming Opportunities.
