To the University of Miami Community,

The University of Miami leadership team, dedicated COVID-19 task force, and

emergency management team have been closely monitoring the spread of the

coronavirus outbreak while aggressively preparing for contingencies around

this rapidly evolving situation. The health and well-being of our community

remain our highest priorities.

Over the past 24 hours, the World Health Organization declared the

coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic, while Miami-Dade County recorded

its first confirmed case and declared a state of emergency. Given these

unprecedented circumstances, and following the guidance from Gov. Ron

DeSantis, state agencies, and public health officials yesterday, University

leadership has made the following immediate decisions:

Spring break has been extended through March 22. Classes will resume

on March 23, but strictly in online/remote/distance learning environments

through at least April 4.

CLASSES

Spring break for students has been extended through next week.

The spring semester will resume on Monday, March 23; however,

classes will be provided strictly in online/remote/distance learning

environments through at least Saturday, April 4.

We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and will make a

future decision regarding when in-person instruction may resume.

Faculty should use this time to prepare for online course delivery, which

will begin on Monday, March 23. The University has launched an

academic and business continuity site to assist faculty members and

students in continuing their teaching and learning activities with minimal

disruption.

ON-CAMPUS HOUSING, DINING, AND ACTIVITIES

Residential colleges and designated dining facilities will remain open

during this time, based on demand. However, students should consider

whether their campus or permanent residence is the safest option during

this time.

Any student who has visited China, France, Germany, Iran, Italy,

Japan, South Korea, or Spain is not permitted to return to campus

until they have completed a mandatory 14-day self-quarantine

period. This remains consistent with earlier guidance.

Effective Monday, March 16, outside guests will not be permitted inside

residential colleges.

University Libraries, the Shalala Student Center, the Herbert Wellness

Center, Student Health Service, and the Counseling Center will remain

open.

The University’s housekeeping services have increased the frequency

and depth of cleaning and disinfection in all campus facilities. In addition,

the University has placed additional hand-sanitizing stations throughout

all campuses.

FOR FACULTY AND STAFF

Outside of course instruction, all University operations will continue

as normal, and faculty and staff are expected to maintain their

normal work schedules and activities. This decision is consistent with

guidance from public health agencies.

If you or a member of your household falls into one of the high-risk

groups as identified by the CDC, such that you may be advised by a

medical professional not to come to work, please contact Human

Resources Management.

Faculty and staff are encouraged to practice social distancing and cough

and sneeze etiquette, as well as follow CDC recommendations for

handwashing and the use of hand sanitizer.

EVENTS AND ATHLETICS COMPETITIONS

Effective Sunday, March 15, through at least Tuesday, March 31, all

campus events or meetings with 50 of more attendees, including external

events, are canceled, with limited exceptions.

Home athletics competitions will continue but without fans. This decision

follows the NCAA decision yesterday to conduct the men’s and women’s

basketball tournaments without fans.

Please refer to the University’s dedicated COVID-19 site for complete,

up-to-date guidance on campus events and meetings.

All of the measures outlined above are being done to reduce the potential for

the spread of the coronavirus and are in the interest of the safety of our

University community.

The University has launched an expanded COVID-19 site with up-to-date

guidance, advisories, and links to resources at coronavirus.miami.edu.

The University has allocated funds and secured the necessary supplies and

materials to ensure the continuity of operations and is implementing numerous

measures to maintain a safe campus environment. Our dedicated COVID-19

task force, which has been meeting since January, continues to work diligently

on this unprecedented situation.

We recognize that these actions are disruptive, but they are guided by the

recommendations of leading health officials and by our priority to safeguard the

health and well-being of our community. We will continue to provide regular

updates.
