There has been a flurry of activities today related to the COVID-19 closure, the first of which came from the Board of Regents announcing that this year‘s Regents exams are cancelled and that changes will be forthcoming regarding how we will award units of credit to students in credit bearing courses. This was followed by the Governor announcing that our closure will now continue until April 29.
