LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) — The University of Wyoming approved a revised reopening plan less than two weeks before classes are due to resume.

Officials say when the semester starts on Aug. 24, all courses will be online. Students who are not on campus will be encouraged not to come.

Currently, there are approximately 1,500 students on campus, most of them freshmen.

Some students will return on Sept. 7, including first-generation college students and students with lab requirements that cannot be done from home.

Students will return to campus for in-person classes by Sept. 28. Then, courses will move exclusively online on Nov. 23 and will remain so through the end of the semester.
