Shorter University to transition to remote learning through April 10

In order to protect the health and safety of our campus community, Shorter University will transition from on-campus instruction to remote delivery from March 23 through April 10. 

• The University will take March 13 through 20 as a time to complete this transition.
• Students should check Hawkmail often for updates for specifics on remote delivery.
• Online classes will continue uninterrupted.

All students residing in Shorter residents in Shorter residence halls should vacate their rooms between now and Sunday, March 15, at 5 p.m. We understand that there are a limited number of students who may face unforeseen hardships based on extenuating circumstances and will need to remain on campus. Those students should contact Anthony Chatmon at Residence Life at achatmon@shorter.edu.

We encourage all students to take all items of value and all materials (textbooks, notes, devices, etc.) that are needed to continue their studies remotely.

Shorter's campus will continue to operate during this period, and staff should continue to report. The work of educating our students and caring for those who remain on campus will continue without interruption.

All university events, including sporting events and practices, are immediately canceled through April 10, ensuring appropriate "social distancing" and helping prevent the potential spread of the virus. 

During this time, please continue to follow the CDC's recommendations concerning the coronavirus and check the University's website for updates. Also, please continue to remember in prayer people whose lives have been affected by this serious virus.
