As many campuses move to online only, including UW STOUT and LaCrosse, UW Eau Claire is not moving to online classes because of the coronavirus, but the school is changing the rules for attendance.
University leaders sent a note to students yesterday explaining that face-to-face classes will not be canceled. But Chancellor James Schmidt said they are allowing any student who is sick to skip class. Schmidt said the goal is to keep as many students on campus as healthy as possible. The school is also not extending its spring break, or canceling any large gatherings or sporting events.
