MURRAY, Ky. (AP) - Murray State University has announced plans to restart its campus for the fall semester.

A release from Murray State said school officials have been reviewing plans for several weeks. Classes are scheduled to begin on Aug. 18.

“We are working toward a traditional fall semester while making necessary adjustments for a new normal,” Murray State President Bob Jackson said.



The university’s spring semester finishes this week. Summer orientation, a required program for new students, will be held online.

Murray officials are calling it the “Racer Restart” initiative. A website has been launched to keep students informed in the coming weeks, the university said.
