While classes have moved online for the current session, the summer session is usually about 80% online, Chancellor Nancee Sorenson said.
LSUE will receive $2 million from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
Chancellor Nancee Sorenson announced the funding at a meeting called by state Rep. Phillip DeVillier at LSUE on Wednesday.

Werner is a frequent visitor to the campus for its major moments such as graduations, which is canceled this spring.
The Louisiana Community and Technical College System announced that LSU Eunice would receive $162,000 from its Workforce Training Rapid Response Fund. The funding is in response to a grant request submitted by LSUE earlier this year.

The graduates on Saturday were given a farewell address from outgoing LSU President F. King Alexander, who announced recently he is leaving LSU to lead the University of Oregon.
