Maine’s largest private university said Friday it plans to resume on-campus instruction in a modified format for the coming academic year.

The University of New England said all undergraduate students will be required to bring evidence of a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of their arrival to campus. They’ll then be tested again shortly thereafter.

The university said it plans to use a hybrid model that includes face-to-face instruction and online experiences.

Maine Maritime Academy also announced that it will reopen campus and hold in-person courses starting Aug. 31.
