Sacred Heart University in Fairfield has entered a red COVID-19 alert level as the school has over 200 active cases of coronavirus.
Because the school has entered the red COVID-19 alert level, a majority of classes will be completely online through the end of the semester, school officials said.
Certain labs and clinical and public school placements may not go remote during that time, they added.
"We recognize that some students need to meet the required hours for course progression and graduation, which means lab experiences and clinical and public school placements may need to continue on ground," Sacred Heart officials said in part in a statement.
The determination will be made by the deans and program directors, the school said.
"Should you choose to leave your placement or decide not to attend onsite labs, the decision may impact your graduation or progression," they added.
