SPOKANE, Wash. — Gonzaga University is moving all courses to online for the remainder of the Spring semester, the university’s president announced Saturday.

On Friday, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee ordered all public schools to be closed in the state and restricted activities at public and private colleges and universities.

Inslee’s announcement came as President Trump declared the coronavirus a national emergency.

In an email addressed to Gonzaga students and family, President Thayne McCulloh said, “With this additional parameter imposed by the State, it is now clear that we have no option but to move to digital/ distance delivery of our courses when we resume the semester on March 23, and we will plan to deliver courses in this manner throughout the remainder of the Spring 2020 semester.”
