Alabama A&M University continues to monitor COVID-19 activity in the nation, particularly the Southeast. While there are
no known cases in Alabama, there are many unknown factors and due to the increased threat of exposure, Alabama A&M
University issues the following guidelines. As a reminder, this situation remains fluid and changes may occur with little or no
notice.
ACADEMICS

until the end of the spring semester. No face-to-face, on-campus classes will be held.

halls by Friday, March 20, 2020 by 5:00 p.m.
