Lebanese American University

Suspension of classes through March 15

LAU will continue to suspend classes and postpone formal in-class exams during the coming week ending March 15 in view of the mounting concern with the Coronavirus outbreak and the need to take all precautionary measures possible.

As such, LAU will be closed insofar as classroom teaching is concerned during said period with the Library and Gym continuing to be off limits to students as well. We will however do all we can to keep as many courses as possible active online and to provide access to course materials through our various online platforms. The office of the provost is the key point of contact in this regard together with school deans and deans of students, who will be communicating with students as needed.

The university will, of course, remain open to faculty, staff and individual students as was the case last week.

LAU is deeply committed to the safety of all members of its family and will always do its utmost to ensure this safety. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and get back to you again if and when needed. Please be safe and exercise extreme caution.
