NEW ORLEANS (March 16, 2020) - The Sun Belt Conference has announced that the league is canceling all organized athletics-related activities, including regular-season competitions, conference championships and practices, through the remainder of the academic year.
 
This decision was made in consultation with the league's Presidents, Chancellors and Directors of Athletics to address growing concerns surrounding the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).

STATESBORO (March 16, 2020) - Following last week's decision to suspend instruction for two weeks, the University System of Georgia (USG) has decided:

• All 26 institutions will move to online instruction for all courses for the remainder of the semester, with extremely limited exceptions.

• Residence halls will be closed, with minimal exceptions for students unable to return home or who cannot find housing elsewhere. Students are not allowed to return to campus until given permission by their institution.

• Institutions will make every effort to accommodate students who are unable to depart campus.

The USG will provide guidance to campuses on refunds to students. Additional details are forthcoming.

All USG institutions will remain open with minimal staff physically on-site to ensure continuity of certain services.

Please continue to adhere to public health and CDC guidelines regarding hygiene and social interactions, and be especially mindful during the transition this week and next.

Georgia Southern continues to monitor and respond to the evolving impact of COVID-19. The health and well-being of our student-athletes, coaches, staff and guests are a primary concern.

Patrons who purchased tickets through the Georgia Southern Athletics Ticket Office will be contacted about refunds regarding dates affected by the cancellation. 

As the situation surrounding COVID-19 constantly evolves, any applicable updates will be posted as they become available on GSEagles.com, as well as on Twitter (@GSAthletics). 

The University has established a website that offers the latest information and guidance to the Georgia Southern community. For more information, please go to the University Page.
