Notre Dame cancels in-person classes due to coronavirus

Notre Dame will not hold any in-person classes until after Easter, at the earliest, due to concerns about the coronavirus spreading through both the country and Indiana.

Notre Dame will add a week to spring break, extending it through March 19, and then conduct all classes through online-only formats.

“Although there are currently no reported cases of the coronavirus at Notre Dame, the probability that it will spread to our region is high,” University President Fr. John Jenkins said.

Though it should be low on the list of concerns, football is the focus of this site: There has yet to be any official word on the status of Irish spring football practices.
