Central Oregon Community College (COCC) has shared initial plans for the spring 2021 term, which will closely resemble operations for its fall and winter terms.
“While we have hope on the horizon with news of the coronavirus vaccines,” COCC’s president, Dr. Laurie Chesley, shared with college employees, “Central Oregon continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic. Under this ongoing reality, we’ve made the first of our decisions about what to expect at COCC for the spring 2021 term. Safety is our top priority.
COCC’s Wickiup Residence Hall will remain closed in spring 2021. The college will continue to offer the majority of its services remotely, facilities will remain closed to the public and access will be limited to specific college and community health-related programs. Employees who currently telework will continue to do so. Dr. Chesley added that she will share updates on planned spring 2021 instruction in the new year, and that the college does not expect to deviate too far from its current 80 percent remote course offerings
COCC’s winter term begins January 4; the application deadline for students is December 27. Spring term gets underway on March 29.
