<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
For clarity, because the University is officially closed, <b>ALL</b> class instruction (both face-to-face and online classes) have been cancelled during this time.</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<b><u>As such, during the time which the University is officially closed, not only are all classes cancelled, but so are all class-related activities including class assignments and/or class tests scheduled during this period.</u></b></p>

Additional information concerning approaches available to faculty instructors in addressing the course materials and activities missed during the closure will be forthcoming from the Office of the Provost as soon as possible.</p>
