LARAMIE — In a letter to University of Wyoming students, Acting President Neil Theobald made a few announcements concerning the University’s next steps concerning the coronavirus (COVID-19.)

The school announced that spring break will extend through Sunday, March 29. Classes will be canceled during the week of March 23.

Theobald wrote that, “The extended break is designed to provide time for faculty to better prepare for online-only teaching should it become necessary. We will continually monitor the situation and make a decision about moving more fully to online classes. As mentioned in yesterday’s communication, students are advised to take with them any materials they might need to resume instruction in an online format.”

According to the letter, the university semester will not be extended.

Moving forward all university-related international travel is not permitted, all personal international travel is strongly discouraged and all university-reimbursed domestic travel must be postponed or canceled unless an exception is granted by your dean or vice president.
