In keeping with the Centers for Disease Control recommendation not to hold large gatherings for the next eight weeks, we are postponing the May 2, 2020, commencement exercises. This decision was made out of concern for the health and safety of our students and their families; as well as that of our staff and faculty who participate. There will be a commencement to celebrate our spring 2020 graduating class; and we will schedule it for a time when we are able to do so in a healthy and safe environment. We will communicate as soon as details are worked out to ensure everyone involved can make travel plans. This decision does not change the semester completion date for our students, nor does it affect the timeline for students earning their degrees. We are only postponing the graduation ceremony and public celebration.
The last day to withdraw from a Spring 2020 full semester individual course has been changed from March 20 to April 24.  Since classes are being delivered in a non-face to face manner during this time, an instructor’s signature will not be required to drop an individual full term course.  An MUBert report has been created for faculty to verify their roster and identify students who dropped by the deadline of April 24.  That report may be accessed at: https://bert.marshall.edu/BRITE/mywithdrawnstudents.php
The Governor of West Virginia has mandated that all restaurants in the state move to carry out only.  Given this, we needed to update the procedures used at the dining halls on campus.  We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as the university makes the necessary changes to comply with the Governor’s directive.  Please check the Sodexo website at https://marshall.sodexomyway.com/explore/coronavirus-covid-19-news for additional information and any changes in these hours of operation.

The dates will remain the same. HELP student names (as well as all priority registration names) will be submitted to the Registrar’s office. As always, names/ID numbers are entered in a field in Banner that will allow online registration. As long as students do not have holds that prevent registration, they will be permitted to register online as they have in the past.
