Georgia State University President Mark Becker announces classes will be held online for the remainder of the semester in a message to the university community on March 16.
The message also says the university will work to offer prorated refunds to students who are living in university housing or have meal plans.
“Members of the faculty have been working diligently to prepare for this development and are committed to continuing to provide students with a high-quality educational experience in the face of these challenging circumstances,” President Becker says.
The decision to move classes online comes after multiple messages from Provost Wendy Hensel, telling faculty to prepare for the transition.
“Our greatest strength is our people, and together we will see to it that Georgia State emerges on the other side of this public health emergency stronger and better prepared for the future,” President Becker says.
