Return to Campus Planning in the COVID-19 Era

We are committed to ensuring the safety of employees, students and visitors, while providing the best possible learning experience for students.

As of November 2020, both the college and state are in Phase 4, with the college enacting Enhanced Mitigations due to the Governor’s Tier 3 Resurgence Mitigation.
