Baruch Forward: Fall 2020 and Beyond
In these unprecedented times, Baruch College continues to look forward toward the future. This site was developed to provide information to the Baruch community on the College’s plans for Fall 2020 and beyond. Here you will find access to valuable resources, support, and services for navigating Baruch’s primarily virtual campus.
Baruch College’s Safe Campus Reopening Plan was developed in accordance with the CUNY Guidelines for Safe Campus Reopening, New York State Guidelines for Higher Education, and Centers for Disease Control & Prevention Guidelines, and aligns with the recommendations of the College’s Task Force for the Future.
The College’s highest priority is protecting the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff, while maintaining academic and business continuity. Our goal is to ensure students can maintain academic momentum, protect financial aid, and work toward their professional goals.
