TAMPA, Fla. — All state universities in Florida are transitioning to remote instruction due to the coronavirus. 

The Florida Board of Governors told Florida's universities Wednesday to move classes online because of the spread of the coronavirus

The online learning push is an effort to stem the spread of the virus. 

USF students will begin taking courses remotely for two week's following Spring Break, which is March 16-20. 

University leaders are urging all students to leave campus this weekend and stay away through April 5. 

Some students said they are not looking forward to remote classes. 

USF student Jeremy Clay said it feels weird being online instead of being able to see the professor and "being able to talk through some stuff."

USF student Dacy Boos said it would significantly difficult for her. 

"I'm not ecstatic about the concept of having to learn through a computer," she said. 

So far, there have been no confirmed cases of coronavirus on any USF campuses. But about a dozen students and faculty who traveled from a coronavirus hot spot are self-isolating. 

USF LIMITS FAN ATTENDANCE

Meanwhile, University of South Florida Athletics will conduct all upcoming scheduled home competitions with only teams, essential staff and limited family attendance at facilities until further notice.

The restrictions will be put in place beginning with Thursday's women's tennis match vs. James Madison and will also impact baseball, softball and men's tennis competitions on campus this weekend.

"After consulting with university leadership, I have made the decision that it is in the best interest for the health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches, fans and the community at large to conduct our athletic competitions for a period of time in the absence of fans," Vice President of Athletics Michael Kelly said. "We will continue to monitor closely the impacts of COVID-19 and consult public health resources as we assess the need for further adjustments moving forward."
