University [UVA] Will Move Classes Online [View all]
University Will Move Classes Online
March 11, 2020
President Ryan provided an update regarding the University’s operational and academic changes on March 11.
We will be moving our classes online. We will not be holding classes on Grounds for the foreseeable future, quite possibly through the end of the semester. We will reassess after April 5 at the earliest and periodically after that date.
Online classes will begin Thursday, March 19.
Students who are away on Spring Break are strongly encouraged to return home or to remain home if they are already there.
Students on Grounds and in Charlottesville are strongly encouraged to return home by this weekend.
University events with more than 100 people are prohibited for the foreseeable future and should be postponed, cancelled, or offered virtually.
See the full message and all of UVA’s coronavirus-related messages.
Our approach is guided by three goals: (1) to protect the health of our students, faculty, staff, and Charlottesville neighbors; (2) to help slow the spread of the virus in Virginia and the nation; (3) to ensure the continuity of our teaching, research, and clinical care. All of those goals are advanced by reducing the number of people who are living and meeting on Grounds.
