University of Central Arkansas President Houston Davis announced Thursday that UCA has cancelled classes Friday, March 13 through Monday, March 16, in response to COVID-19.

- Tuesday, March 17 through Friday, March 20: All classes held online
- Saturday, March 21 through Sunday, March 29: Spring Break
