In compliance with guidance from Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, Mississippi ÐÔÊӽ紫ý University announced today that the university will deliver online or other remote instructional course content for the remainder of the 2020 spring semester. That decision is based on national and state public health protocols established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Mississippi ÐÔÊӽ紫ý Department of Health (MSDH).
Information on laboratory courses will be communicated to students by their instructors.
Additionally, current CDC and MSDH guidelines preclude ÐÔÊӽ紫ý from holding any large public gatherings. Consequently, IHL recommendations are that traditional commencement exercises be indefinitely postponed. Plans to appropriately honor ÐÔÊӽ紫ý graduates will be discussed and revealed when the national emergency is concluded.
Commencement is one of ÐÔÊӽ紫ý’s most meaningful and cherished traditions, one that our students and their families have earned. As an institution, ÐÔÊӽ紫ý remains committed to celebrating our graduates at a safe and appropriate time.
