Southwestern Illinois College students will take classes online for the rest of the semester, and commencement ceremonies are canceled to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
SWIC previously extended spring break for a week; students would have been returning the week of March 23.
But the college announced Thursday that instruction would move online until May 13. Then, students’ degrees will be mailed to them.
Some classes that are not conducive to online instruction will be suspended until April 18.
Earlier on Thursday, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and the SIU School of Dental Medicine announced that spring commencement ceremonies have been postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
