University College Dublin (UCD) has postponed examinations scheduled for March. There will be no face-to-face teaching or meetings on campus.

Students, including agricultural science students, have been informed that “teaching will resume on 23 March, but students will not return to campus and all learning material will be delivered using UCD's online platform Brightspace”.

"While there will be no face-to-face teaching or meetings on UCD campuses, the University will continue to operate, with staff working from remote locations as much as possible," head of UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science Alex Evans wrote to students.

"If you have queries, please use electronic rather then in-person means of communication."

UCD has also asked students on placement to only continue if they are comfortable doing so. For students due to leave on placement, they’ve asked that students do not travel to European countries or other countries affected by Covid-19.
