RE: University emergency operating guidelines through May 11, 2020
Now that Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves’ current “shelter in place” executive order will end Monday, April 27 at 8 a.m., ̾Ƶ will revert to the emergency operating guidelines that were in place immediately preceding the “shelter in place” order from March 23rd – April 3rd. These ̾Ƶemergency guidelines were originally authorized to continue through the rest of the 2020 Spring Semester or until May 1st.
Effective Monday, April 27 at 8 a.m., ̾Ƶextends this original emergency operations authorization to continue through May 11 at 8 a.m. Updated information for operations beyond that date will be provided as soon as possible.
