Many students at Temple University headed back home this weekend, less than a month after they moved into their dorms, as COVID-19 concerns forced the school to switch almost all of its fall semester classes online.

Between Aug. 10 and Aug. 28, 333 coronavirus cases were confirmed on campus, according to Temple's COVID-19 tracker. The positivity rate increased from 0.71% to 10.12% during that period, according to the Philadelphia school's data.

On Sept. 3, school officials announced that due to the rising cases, it was going to shift all "non-essential" fall semester classes, roughly 95% of all courses, to online only. It gave students who lived on campus the option to leave by Sept. 13 with a full refund of their housing and meal plan charges.
