SUSLA Continues Online Classes Through October 5

Southern University at Shreveport, LA (SUSLA) extends 100 percent online classes, through October 5. In early August, Administrators delayed fall plans for in-person classes out of an abundance of caution. They used three guiding principles to make their decision: (1) protect the campus community; (2) offer access to education to the greatest extent possible; (3) create flexibility at both the individual and institutional levels.

“Our decision-making continues to be based on the advice of public health experts, and what we are learning every day about the virus spread in the state. We must follow the data, and keep our students, faculty, and staff safe,” stated Rodney Ellis, Chancellor.

SUSLA continues to work with regional medical partners and follow the guidance and directives of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Louisiana Health Department, and Governor John Bel Edwards to ensure the safety standards are properly implemented. After October 5, classes will be in one of the following instructional modes: online with a schedule/remote, entirely online, or hybrid lab flex schedule.

It is important to note that delaying in-person instruction may be revisited as University Administrators continue to follow the reported impact of recommended statewide health precautions in the coming month.
