April 2, 2020 - 10:30 a.m.

While access to the JCCC campus is closed, coursework will continue. All current JCCC spring 2020 classes will finish the semester online. All student support resources have moved online as well; check the student resources page for details.

Classes that include hands-on and lab work that cannot be completed online will complete that work on campus beginning June 1, provided JCCC is cleared to reopen general access to campus. Students will complete hands-on spring 2020 course objectives from June 1 – June 26.
Students should verify with their instructors that they understand the plans for their respective classes.
Faculty members in classes with hands-on components will notify students if their course requires work that would be completed in June.
Last day to drop for spring 2020 full-term courses has been moved from April 15 to May 1.
Pass/Fail option policy for spring 2020 has been modified to allow students to take more than one course as Pass/Fail. The process must be completed by Thursday, April 30, and requires students complete an online meeting with a JCCC Counselor to determine if this is the best option.

Students should log into Canvas for specific instructions for each course they're enrolled in (see Online Learning).

Reminder: If you develop symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath), please contact JCDHE at 913-477-8343.
