March 15-21: Spring Break

"Students who wish to remain on campus during or immediately after spring break are permitted but not required to do so. Residence halls, dining services and all other on campus services will remain open as usual," UW-La Crosse officials said.

In-person classes may resume as early as Monday, April 13, university officials said, but it depends on how the coronavirus situation evolves, they said in a statement.
