"* i think just about all of us have heard concerns as college students across the country travel to spring break destinations to let loose..

And loosen covid precautions as a result..

However, u?

"*m?*r says its student population has been closely following guidelines with the amount of positive cases in the single digits so far.

As they return ?

"* there are four steps in place..

Including students in university housing will almost exclusively live and learn at residence halls..

And return to the hall by 10?

"*pm without no guests allowed.

There is also testing being offered to spring breakers as this is only for the campus community because it's being provided through the university and it is the saliva testing.

So, we timed the testing to coincide with those guidelines in public health as to when transmission may have happened if you travel students were offered the opportunity to test before they left for spring break as well.

Live in thank you jessica.

The university postponed spring break by three weeks to allow more time for vaccinations and testing.

Students return to class this coming monday, the 12th.
