USCB to continue online learning through spring semester as coronavirus prevention
University of South Carolina Beaufort will not meet in-person for the rest of the spring semester as a coronavirus prevention measure after a Thursday executive order by S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster.
McMaster ordered all public universities to provide instruction online during a late afternoon press conference.
USCB said its commencement also would be postponed. A new date was not announced.
“This postponement of ceremony will not impact degree-completion status for students who are scheduled to graduate,” a news release says.
All USCB campuses – Bluffton, Beaufort, Hilton Head Island – are operational for essential services only.
The university had previously canceled classes through March 21.
