In compliance with guidance from Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ 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 State Department of Health (MSDH).
Information on laboratory courses will be communicated to students by their instructors.
Additionally, current CDC and MSDH guidelines preclude Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ from holding any large public gatherings. Consequently, IHL recommendations are that traditional commencement exercises be indefinitely postponed. Plans to appropriately honor Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ graduates will be discussed and revealed when the national emergency is concluded.
Commencement is one of Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ’s most meaningful and cherished traditions, one that our students and their families have earned. As an institution, Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ remains committed to celebrating our graduates at a safe and appropriate time.
