The University of Minnesota announced Wednesday that classes on all five campuses will go online when students come back from Spring Break next week.

The University is one of many colleges across the country having to figure out what to do with thousands of students that live on campus or commute for class. The U’s announcement came hours after the University of Wisconsin-Madison canceled in-person classes.

The University of St. Thomas in St Paul has contingency plans to move coursework online.

Spring break will be extended on the U of M’s Twin Cities, Rochester, and Duluth campuses until Wednesday, March 18. That’s when students will resume classes online until at least April 1st.

There are currently no known COVID-19 cases at the University of Minnesota.

1. Damn. I'd signed up for an adult-ed course at the U of MN in April.

I suppose that will just be canceled instead of provided on-line, but I don't want to be in a classroom with a bunch of people anyhow.
