In light of the evolving coronavirus pandemic in the US and globally, out of an abundance of caution and care for our UVI Community members, some of whom may be in high-risk groups, the University has developed the following immediate plans:

UVI extended Spring Break for students until Sunday, March 22, 2020, and transitioned  to online learning for all graduate and undergraduate classes on Monday, March 23, 2020

We did not make these decisions lightly but feel that this is the most prudent course of action at this time. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization have emphasized the importance of taking active measures to contain the spread of the virus in communities and mitigate the risk to vulnerable populations. Our actions are consistent with the recommendations of leading health officials on how to limit the spread of the virus and are also consistent with similar decisions made by a number of our peer institutions and other universities across the nation.
