UW-Whitewater delays its spring break by about a month because of the coronavirus pandemic.

While plans for the fall semester include going virtual after Thanksgiving break, UW-W officials plan to have students return to campus for about two weeks for the end of classes, final exams and commencement.

If virus conditions are bad enough, however, the university said it will move to entirely virtual instruction to wrap up the spring semester.

UW-W’s spring break now is scheduled for April 19th-23rd. Originally, the university had scheduled spring break for March 22nd-26th.

UW-Madison moved to cancel its spring break to prevent students from traveling, which could spread COVID-19 where they go or lead to them bringing it back upon their return.

UW-Platteville decided to schedule five days off and spread them throughout the semester.
