Brown University resumes some in-person classes

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Brown University is allowing some smaller classes to meet in-person starting Wednesday.

Classes of 19 students or fewer are now allowed under Level 2 of the Ivy League school’s coronavirus protocols. The campus has three activity levels, with Level 1 being the most restrictive. All levels still require face coverings and social distancing.

Libraries are open, but students are required to reserve study space online and check out books using a contactless circulation system. Office hours and advising are still remote.

Athletic and recreational facilities remain closed.

Socializing is only allowed in groups of five or fewer students unless outdoors where social distancing can be maintained.

The university bookstore is open only to members of the Brown community and a university ID is required for admission.

Students are still required to follow all state and federal guidelines.
