The North Greenville University COVID-19 Response Team, in cooperation with senior leadership, implemented a 15-day modified operation plan effective Wednesday. This plan aligns with the White House 15-day plan released Monday.
In-person events and activities are cancelled through March 31, and no social gatherings larger than 10 people will be permitted. Residence halls will remain open; however, students remaining on campus have been asked to sign-in with the Office of Resident Life.
Beginning Wednesday the dining hall will remain open with limited menu options and social distance seating. Papa John’s will be available for drive-thru only, and the NGU General Store will operate with reduced hours. Chick-fil-A and Einstein Bros. Bagels will be closed. NGU’s clinic will remain open as scheduled.
The Tigerville Campus will remain operational and staffed, March 19-31, as needed but will be closed to all outside visitors. The Greer Campus will be closed after March 18. All staff will return to work on Wednesday, April 1.
All NGU in-person classes will begin online instruction on Monday, March 23, as previously announced. The University intends to resume in-person instruction beginning Monday, April 6, pending the status of the coronavirus.
NGU will continue monitoring conditions from national, state, and local authorities, and will update or amend its plan as additional information is received.
“This crisis is not a surprise to God,” said NGU President Dr. Gene C. Fant, Jr., in a video message to the community. “He has prepared us for this event, and we look forward to seeing His future for this special place on the other side of this emergency.”
