The shift to online-only comes on the heels of the Florida State University System instructing all state universities to move to online classes only due to the coronavirus.
School officials asked students to not come back to campus for the next two weeks.
Today's decision came after much thought and preparation to ensure our students, faculty and staff can continue to receive a quality education, teach and work, safely. https://t.co/eH6UdvbFKm
