To ensure the safety and well-being of our constituencies, the College maintains the right to move classes temporarily or permanently to online, remote platforms; to a hybrid section that includes some face-to-face learning and some remote learning; or to a different campus, location, building, or time. Additionally, the College reserves the right to institute plans or practices in the physical classroom/lab/activity spaces and common areas to protect students and employees. The College will attempt to make these changes as minimally disruptive as possible, but the College reserves the sole right to alter the particular type, place, and/or time for their classes. Students will be notified of any necessary modifications as quickly as possible.

To protect each other from COVID-19, faculty, staff, and students must make a commitment to practice the following measures:       
