Please note the Information below is based on Illinois being in Phase 4 for spring quarter 2021. Depending on updated guidance from the state and health department the classroom capacities could change 2021-2022.

Classroom capacities are reduced because of social distancing requirements - most rooms seat 20-30% of their normal capacity. The majority of general purpose classrooms seat fewer than 15 students under these new restrictions.

Examples of reduced classroom capacities
