Bethune-Cookman University will pivot to online instruction starting Thursday due to a surge in coronavirus cases in Florida.

Wednesday will be the last day for in-person instruction on campus. 

Students and staff will finish the last three weeks of the semester using a combination of Canvas and Zoom platforms. 

All final exams and projects will be administered remotely and students will be offered a pass/fail option as needed. 

On-campus residents can remain in their dorms through November 20th but are encouraged to leave sooner if possible. 

An 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew and shelter in place order will remain in effect Monday through Sunday for the rest of the semester.

Spring sports including football and men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball and track and field have been canceled.
