INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS
INFORMATION FOR FACULTY & STAFF

Current status

As a reminder, Spring Break has been extended through March 27, with classes moving to an online format to the maximum extent possible beginning on March 30 and extending through the end of the semester. You’ll find information about online delivery on Blackboard on March 30, and although many offices are closed, we have lots of resources and support available to you online and by phone until we reopen.

Economic Development and Corporate Training

The Economic Development and Corporate Training Division (EDCT) is closed through April 30 and is making plans to continue instruction. Due to the fluid situation, all EDCT students who do not wish to reschedule courses will be eligible for a full refund or a one-year credit toward course registration. Refunds will be processed upon the re-opening of the college. To learn more about specific courses, please contact your instructor. We are reaching out to registered students via email, so please check your email as well.

Community Partners

We appreciate the support of our business and industry partners in good times and more challenging moments. We continue to rely upon members of our advisory groups, with some of those groups meeting virtually. We need and appreciate our donors who continue to ensure that the education we offer -- whether face-to-face or online -- is excellent preparation and that the students we serve have the support to succeed.

Spring 2020 Commencement has been Canceled

We have made the difficult decision to cancel the May 2020 Commencement Ceremony. Once graduation requirements have been met, we will mail diplomas while making sure that we don't put our students, their families, and the community at risk. We applaud our graduates and will invite them to participate in the December ceremony so that we can celebrate together.
