MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - University of Vermont students will begin returning to their residence halls over the course of the week.
In normal years, students arrive on campus during the weekends, but this year it will occur over several days, beginning Tuesday.
Students must receive a negative test for COVID-19 before they arrive on campus. They will be tested when they arrive and weekly until mid-September.
UVM, like many colleges and universities across the state and country, is working to bring students back to campus safely.
