NSU Coronavirus Update: Commencement and Emergency Funding

In the latest update from NSU President Dr. George Hanbury, it was decided that NSU commencement ceremonies would be rescheduled for a later date or, for some professional degree recipients, via remote events. Dr. Hanbury assured the NSU community that degrees would be officially conferred, as usual, based on satisfactory completion of all degree requirements.

Dr. Hanbury also announced that NSU was recently informed that the university would receive $3.5 million intended solely for NSU students who are currently enrolled in the winter term and can document financial hardship due to the pandemic. In addition to government funding, NSU has created a university-based fund, the NSU COVID-19 Student Support Fund, that is being contributed to by alumni faculty, staff, fellow students, NSU donors, and friends.

More information on commencement or on how to apply and qualify for federal or NSU COVID-19 Student Support Fund financial assistance are available in the President’s full memo at nova.edu/coronavirus.
