More Information: On March 16, just two after Gov. Brian Kemp declared a Public Health State of Emergency, the University System of Georgia announced that all 26 institutions of higher education, including VSU, would transition to online instruction for the remainder of Spring Semester 2020 with extremely limited exceptions. Residence halls were closed, with minimal exceptions for students unable to return home and students who were unable to find housing elsewhere.

The health of our students, faculty, and staff is our highest priority, and VSU continues to monitor this global situation. Updates are posted at https://www.valdosta.edu/health-advisory/.
