WILMINGTON â Students from N.C. and elsewhere will converge on UNCW this weekend as the university ramps up for its spring semester, the second time college students in Wilmington will return to campus amid the pandemic.
New precautions will be in place that were nonexistent in the fall, most notably, re-entry testing, which asks all students enrolled in on-campus classes to present a negative Covid-19 test after arriving. Students who donât show up with a negative test on paper will be given a rapid test onsite.
