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

emergency management team continue to take proactive measures—following

the guidance of public health and government agencies—to safeguard the

health and safety of our community. As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to

rapidly evolve, University leadership has made the following immediate

decisions:

In accordance with public health guidance to reduce density on campus,

and due to the likelihood of further travel restrictions in the coming days,

the move to online instruction has been extended through the remainder

of the spring semester, which will conclude on May 6. Also, we will

implement partial closing of on-campus housing beginning March 25.

CLASSES

Classes and labs will resume on March 23, but strictly in online/remote

/distance learning environments through the remainder of the

spring semester, which will conclude on May 6.

Faculty should continue to prepare for online course delivery, which will

begin on Monday, March 23. Additional resources to assist faculty

members and students in continuing their teaching and learning activities

with minimal disruption can be found on the academic and business

continuity site and on coronavirus.miami.edu.

We strongly encourage all students to return to their

permanent residence and not remain in on-campus housing.

Limited exceptions will be made for students unable to return home,

or who cannot find housing elsewhere.

Although encouraged, students do not need to remove their

personal belongings from their room immediately. Students will

have until May 8 at 5 p.m. to return to campus to pick up their items

and fully check out of their housing assignment.

Room and board costs will be pro-rated for the remainder of the

semester for all students leaving campus. Additional information will

be forthcoming.

Students who need extensions to pick up personal belongings

or who need to remain in on-campus housing must complete

an exemption request via the housing portal available in

CaneLink no later than March 23 at noon.

We will make every effort to accommodate students and each case

will receive individual attention. If you have questions, please

contact housing@miami.edu.

Coral Gables and medical campuses and the University Center pool will

exceptions to policies to encourage social distancing and minimize the

number of people on campus. In consultation with their supervisors,

employees whose duties can be performed remotely are

please stay at home. Do not come to work and please contact your
