DELAYED: UNCW will now resume classes Oct. 8

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — UNCW classes will now resume on October 8, according to the university. This comes just one day after announcing most students would be back in the classroom on Monday.

UNCW says the decision for the delay was due to significant repairs ongoing at Galloway and Cornerstone halls and several displaced students and staff.

Employees can return to campus on October 1 and students on October 6.

“Over the past couple of days, we have been made aware of nearly a hundred additional off-campus students displaced by the storm and in need of housing assistance. In addition, as our employees have been able to return to Wilmington, they have discovered substantial damage to their homes – in some cases, total loss,” UNCW said in a press release.
