ON campus teaching at Ulster University will return in full by next year, Ulster University has said.
UU has shared a five point plan with its students and staff.
Interim Vice Chancellor Prof Paul Bartholomew said the university was "working meticulously towards full campus operations".
It had already been announced that face-to-face lectures would be suspended until after Christmas. Some small group teaching will take place on campus.
In a new email, Prof Batholomew said UU would resume activities and teaching earlier if public health advice permitted.
He said the health of students and staff was the priority, but there would be some flexibility.
From September, lectures will be online, but small tutorials and laboratory work can take place on campus.
Libraries, sports facilities and some food outlets will reopen and student accommodation will open fully.
There will follow a gradual reopening of all other services during the 2020/21 academic year.
By September 2021, the aim is that there will be a full resumption of teaching, research and social activities.
The plan is based on the "current projected delivery for key services" and will be reviewed regularly.
This week, UU warned it may have to reduce staff costs over its financial sustainability.
Prof Bartholomew said the economic damage of the pandemic "is now becoming clear".
It is feared UU could face losses of up to £64m over a three year period due to Covid-19.
