NEW BRITAIN — Central Connecticut State University has canceled its commencement ceremony scheduled for May.

In an announcement Wednesday, the school said it was exploring alternatives to an “in-person” commencement. Meanwhile, classes and exams will continue in an online-only format, with faculty and staff continuing to work remotely.

“I know this is very difficult and frustrating news for many of you — especially our seniors,” University President Zulma R. Toro said in a statement. “Please know this is not what we wanted to do, but felt compelled to do for your health and safety. We have many details to work out and will communicate that information with you later this week.
