After the announcement made Thursday by the Governor’s Office regarding the Covid-19 coronavirus, Snow College is responded with the following statement:
As our country and state grapple with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), state leaders are determined to do their part to protect the health and safety of our communities. These decisions are not made lightly. The World Health Organization has declared the coronavirus a worldwide pandemic. We are combining efforts as a system to slow the disease’s spread. As part of that initiative, Snow College will implement the following action plan:

• Hold regular classes through March 20 while preparations continue
• Move to online instruction for the rest of the semester, effective April 1
• Cancel classes on March 30-31
• Cancel or reschedule all college-sponsored large gatherings (indoor and outdoor) through April 30
• Restrict international and domestic travel, as well as in-state travel to large gatherings (as previously announced)
• College housing will remain open and food service will be available throughout the rest of the semester.

No decision has been made about Commencement, scheduled for May 1 (Richfield) and May 2 (Ephraim). This is the topic of an on-going conversation at the state level. The college is reviewing options, and we will keep members of the college community informed through email alerts and the website.
