Planning for the Fall
Keene State is committed to the health and wellbeing of our community, and is closely monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak. As we face these uncertain times together, we are keeping our students, professors, and staff safe with remote learning and student experiences for the remainder of the spring semester. At this time, we anticipate seeing our students back on campus in the fall. And to give you more time to decide, we extended our deadline to pay your deposit to June 1! If you have any questions, please contact our admissions team. In the meantime, get ready for your Keene State experience!
