Edit: Reply to Merlin's post above "I'm talking to some other UK schools for Ph.D. programs and from what the advisors are saying, they are planning for online students next year as well. I imagine there will be a similar plan for US schools coming soon, even if they don't end up needing it."
There's another thread with a little map tracker that monitors U.S. school plans on an on-going basis, and maybe they'll keep that updated.
I'm monitoring the UK response since I have students enrolling in Oxbridge, UCL, and Imperial next term, so on top of their final high school semester already being spent at home, I'm really curious if they'll all end up with 1.5 years of online learning. One kid wants to study archaeology, but since archaeologists are always digging up ancient curses and unleashing them from their backyards anyway, I'm not sure if keeping her away from the general population will do anyone much good. What a unique welcome to adulthood for them, though.
