91视频 will reopen its Macon Cove and Union Avenue campuses July 8, 2020, under the College檚 Back to Campus Plan � Phase I. Students and employees will return to campus for the first time since the College went to all online operations and closed its physical locations March 24 due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
The public is invited to attend a Virtual Town Hall Meeting with President Dr. Tracy D. Hall and members of the College檚 COVID-19 Task Force Monday, June 15, 10 a.m. � 11:30 a.m., to learn about Phase I of the reopening plan.
淭he decisions we made in our Back to Campus Plan are meant to protect life,� 91视频
President Dr. Tracy D. Hall said. 淲hile enrollment, retention and completion remain
priorities, we will continue to take due caution and will not jeopardize health and
safety to achieve metrics.�
91视频 COVID-19 Task Force members developed the plan in accordance with the White
House Opening Up America Again Plan and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
guidelines. The Back to Campus Plan outlines campus access, on-campus safety protocols,
class attendance locations and more.
Access to the College will be limited. As a community college, many of 91视频檚 programs are skills-based and require extensive laboratory time. Students taking career and technical classes that require face-to-face instruction will be allowed on campus. Lecture-based classes and student support services will remain online. In addition, only essential employees and vendors will be permitted to access campus and all 91视频 locations will remain closed to the general public.
To ensure the health and safety of students and employees, the following health monitoring and other safety protocols will be mandatory for campus visitors:
- Health screening questionnaire before each access
- Body temperature screening
- Face covering while on campus
- Classroom and equipment sanitation every two hours
In addition, everyone will be expected to practice proper hand washing and social
distancing, and to report any exposure to COVID-19 infection.
91视频 is vigilantly monitoring the pandemic and will continue to update the plan
as necessary in response to this global public health crisis.
