Clemson University asked students to take all necessary learning materials with them during spring break – which is Monday, March 16 through Friday, March 20 – in the event that in-person class in disrupted amid coronavirus concerns.

No changes to the spring semester have been made, but university spokesperson Joe Galbraith said the university has instructed faculty to prepare online lesson plans in case instruction moves online for an extended period of time.

"While no decision has been made, students should bring materials necessary for their continued academic progress if the decision is made to move to online instruction," the Tuesday evening email reads. "This includes, laptop, textbooks and other items needed to complete coursework assigned online."

The university plans to keep campus open even if instruction moves online, according to a release from the university.

Clemson University was monitoring one possible case of COVID-19 but the test results from DHEC came back negative.

The individual is a not a student and was self-quarantined at their off-campus residence while he or she awaited test results.

Clemson advised against unnecessary international travel to any "high-risk locations," according to the Tuesday alert. The Center for Disease Control has labeled Italy, Iran, China and South Korea as high risk.

"Please understand you will be subject to additional screenings and/or governmental-imposed quarantine requirements before you can return to any Clemson location," the message said.

Students, faculty and staff returning from international travel are being told to call Redfern Health Center at 864-656-2457 for screening before they return to campus.

As of Tuesday evening, South Carolina had 12 possible cases of coronavirus being monitored, seven presumptive positive cases and two confirmed positive tests, according to DHEC.
