Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute has announced new campus guidelines and protocols, which will take effect with the start of the fall semester on Aug. 17.
Knowing there are a lot of questions about how schools will deal with COVID-19 as students return to campus, CCC&TI President Dr. Mark Poarch said the new policies will help keep students and employees safe while ensuring that the college’s services are accessible.
“I’m proud of our students and employees, who showed tremendous flexibility and patience when COVID-19 changed our operations for the spring and summer semesters,” Poarch said. “We’ve learned a lot from the experience and I believe it will make us a better institution as we adapt and respond to unprecedented challenges.”
In addition to offering more online and hybrid (a mix of online and in-person instruction) classes, CCC&TI will implement several new policies and changes for the fall semester due to COVID-19. The new guidelines and protocols include:
“Protecting our students, employees and the community, while providing an essential service, is our number one priority,” Poarch said.
