PRE News & Ideas | By Jared Brumbaugh

Published October 7, 2020 at 6:02 PM EDT

East Carolina University provided updates Wednesday on their plan for the spring semester. The university says classes will begin on Jan. 19 and finish on Apr. 27 with no spring break. ECU will offer a mix of in-person, hybrid, and online classes for undergraduate and graduate students. On-campus living will be allowed for a limited number of students. In a news release, ECU said they "will establish a very large capacity for on-campus isolation and quarantine, update plans for COVID-19 testing, and develop a vaccination plan for students in anticipation of the availability of an approved COVID-19 vaccine."
