MONROE, Mich. – In its continuing efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19, Monroe County Community College is announcing several updates on classroom instruction and events.
These include:
Credit classes. After a four-day hiatus, face-to-face and blended credit classes are scheduled to resume on Friday, March 20 in remote formats through the end of the semester. (Previously, MCCC had announced that this change was until “further notice.”) The current semester ends May 4. All online courses have and will continue to run as originally scheduled. Students enrolled in laboratory and clinical courses, fieldwork, internships and co-ops, and direct college at high schools are being contacted by their instructors for direction. All students should continue to regularly monitor their MCCC email.
College offices and services. Most offices and services remain open to provide as much support as possible to faculty and students. Employees, students and campus visitors are encouraged to refrain from coming to campus if they are sick. They are also encouraged to continue effective hygiene practices as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control.
Events. Per the latest guidance by the CDC (March 16) on events and mass gatherings, MCCC is cancelling all events scheduled on its campus with expected attendance of 10 or more for eight weeks (through May 10).
Commencement ceremony. The 2020 Commencement ceremony, originally scheduled for May 1, has been postponed. A rescheduled date will be announced.
