Masks will be worn and social distancing will be implemented.
Students will also be asked to stay on campus for the entire semester to protect the outside community.
If students do not comply, Vassar says they will go through a process with a "community care team" and could possibly be asked to study from home.
Other universities and colleges are also rolling out their plans for a safe return.
Marist is also implementing similar ideas. Visitors not connected to the Marist community will not be allowed on campus, and fall 2020 study abroad programs are suspended.
