Murray State Goes Online For Remainder of Semester

Murray State University has announced that they will transition all classes to online or alternative methods for the remainder of the spring semester.

Murray State had originally announced last week that all in-person classes would be delivered through alternative methods beginning Monday, March 23 and continuing through Sunday, April 5. Students are on Spring Break through this Sunday. 

In a press release from Murray State University on Tuesday, officials announced that all campus and student events and activities are being postponed or canceled through Friday, May 15. 

This includes commencement ceremonies which were scheduled to take place on May 9. The university is still working to determine other options and a future date for the event.

Murray State University will remain open during this time; however all campus buildings will be closed to the public. Residence halls will not reopen following the Spring Break and students are being advised to begin making preparations to move out.

“The health, safety and well-being of our faculty, staff, students and the broader community are of utmost importance and we are taking aggressive action, as recommended, to mitigate the spread of COVID-19,” said Murray State President Dr. Bob Jackson. “We will work through these realities together while serving our students in the best manner possible.”
