UT Classes Are Moving Online, Starting March 16, Until Further Notice

The University of Tampa is carefully monitoring COVID-19, and assessing information from various organizations, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO) and the Florida Department of Health.

Though UT’s rich educational environment is one of its greatest assets, the campus community’s health and safety is a top priority. While there still are no reported or confirmed COVID-19 cases on campus, this is an extraordinary situation, and UT has decided to move from face-to-face instruction to online delivery, effective March 16. UT is taking this action to protect not only the campus community but the larger community, as well. UT hopes to resume the full array of campus life — including face-to-face instruction — as soon as conditions permit.

Students are encouraged to not return to campus for now and to continue their coursework online. Campus residence halls will remain open for those who need to stay on campus, but residence hall guests are discouraged. Campus services will remain open and operational with limited or reduced services for students, such as dining, library and health services.

The UT Emergency Operations Team will meet regularly to determine which events, meetings and activities will continue, be postponed, be cancelled or move online. Please check the master calendar on ut.edu for event status or contact the event organizer. Athletic games and practices have been canceled beginning March 16.

Please visit UT’s new COVID-19 webpage, which includes a frequently-asked-question section, for updates.
