Central Community College has made plans for the 2020-21 academic year in consideration to the COVID-19 pandemic. The school ended the previous year by conducting all instruction remotely, except for labs and other courses that required a hands-on approach.

The fall semester is set to begin on Monday, Aug. 17, with a return to face-to-face instruction at all CCC campuses and centers. Adjustments have been made to classrooms and labs to allow for social distancing and some instructional delivery methods have been modified to allow for more online opportunities.

As a matter of safety for all students, faculty, staff and visitors, the college is implementing a face covering requirement in all CCC buildings, including classrooms, hallways and labs. Face coverings include masks, face shields or other approved coverings. Additionally, hand sanitizer and plexiglass shields are positioned throughout buildings.

A student survey conducted by Central Community College indicated nearly 80 percent of students are preregistered for at least one face-to-face course.

At this time, fall classes are scheduled to conclude on Friday, Dec. 11.
