USG institutions will suspend classes for two weeks

Effective Mar. 16, 2020, all 26 of the University System of Georgia will suspend instruction until Mar. 29, 2020 according to a letter directed to all presidents in the system by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia

The letter states:

Effective March 16, 2020, all University System of Georgia institutions will temporarily suspend instruction for two weeks to allow USG institutions to test their business continuity plans and online instruction modules and for the state office to continue to assess the current situation regarding coronavirus (COVID-19) in Georgia.

Students who are currently on spring break are strongly encouraged not to return to campus. Students on campus are asked to depart by close of business Friday, March 13, 2020 and to remain away until March 29, 2020. At this time, students are not being asked to move out of their dorms for the remainder of the semester. For students who are unable to leave campus, please establish a mechanism to safely accommodate those students on campus.

Please activate your relevant business continuity plans and ensure the operation of online instruction should that become necessary. Further guidance will follow as the situation warrants.
