Phased Operational Plan

University of Arizona Cooperative Extension

Jul. 29, 2020

Arizona Cooperative Extension has developed a plan to bring back in-person programming in phases.  The phases are dependent on several health-related factors with regard to COVID-19 infection and transmission.  The plan has been vetted and approved by University of Arizona leadership and is set to begin execution on Monday, August 17th, 2020.  You can view the plan here.

This does not mean in-person programming can begin on August 17th – this simply means that we can begin implementing our phased approach to in-person programming on that date. 

You can get all the information on our efforts to deliver in-person programming on this page.  See our phases matrix table below as well as your respective county's phase level.
