The school will be transitioning to virtual learning from Monday, Jan. 3, through Friday, Jan. 21, with the exception of essential in-person classes and on-campus services, Temple President Dr. Jason Wingard said in a statement Wednesday.
Residence halls will still be open, however, students will need to be tested for COVID-19 within 24 hours of arrival, he wrote.
He also urged all eligible students, faculty, and staff to receive a COVID-19 booster shot as soon as possible.
It is unknown whether this course of action will be permanent for the duration of the semester.
