SUMMER SCHOOL — COVID-19 UPDATE

ECU and the UNC System continue to monitor the spread of COVID-19 cases and work to ensure the safety of our university community.

Our faculty, staff and students have stepped up in remarkable ways, finding and adapting to new methods of teaching and learning as we have moved our instruction to alternative forms of delivery to minimize in-person contact for the spring semester.

In alignment with UNC System guidance, ECU will continue online/alternative course delivery through Summer 2020, Sessions 1 and 2.

I’m proud of how Pirate Nation has responded to this challenge, quickly finding new and innovative ways to teach, learn and research. And while we look forward to all of our Pirates returning to campus, we need to wait a little longer to do so for the health and safety of our community.

As of 5 p.m. Monday, March 30, N.C. Governor Roy Cooper has issued a statewide stay-at-home order. ECU students, faculty and staff should continue to remain at home as much as possible and minimize direct personal contact when it is necessary to venture out. The statewide order is expected to remain in place for at least a month.

The ECU coronavirus website is updated regularly to include evolving guidance for the university community.

Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do to help in the effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19 and to support each other during this difficult time.

-Acting Provost and Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Grant Hayes
