Majority of Ryerson classes to be held online in fall, university announces

A majority of Ryerson’s 2020 fall courses will be delivered online as Toronto continues to grapple with daily new COVID-19 infections, the university announced Friday.

Mohamed Lachemi, the school’s president and vice-chancellor, said despite the announcement, the school continues to explore a plan that would see students and faculty gradually return to campus and a mix of online and in-person classes.

“I appreciate that uncertainty is challenging for all of us; we all want to be able to make the best decisions for ourselves and our loved ones, and to do so with confidence,” Lachemi said in a written statement issued Friday.

“I can assure you that our fall term will take place.”

Lachemi said the school will offer as many campus activities as permitted by health officials, along with “an array of online extra-curricular programming and academic supports.”
