Back to Campus: Phase I

ON-SITE LOCATIONS:

During Phase I, the Macon Cove and Union Avenue campuses re-opened July 8, 2020.

PHASE I OBJECTIVES:

• Implement a phased-in approach of essential functions/programs that cannot operate optimally in an online environment.
• Continue to encourage telework, whenever possible and feasible with business operations.
• Adhere to CDC guidelines regarding social distancing and safety.
• Provide reasonable accommodations for employees/students who are members of vulnerable populations or who have primary responsibility for those who are members of vulnerable populations.

PHASE I GUIDELINES:

Phase I guidelines were developed according to those outlined in the White House Opening Up America Again Plan. The safety protocols also align with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations.
Those essential services that cannot be executed exclusively in an online environment are reintroduced. The Macon Cove and Union Avenue campuses reopen to offer career and technical courses with a lab component, along with select workforce development programs.

• All other faculty and staff continue teleworking.
• All student support services continue to be provided online.
• Common areas, such as libraries, cafeterias and bookstores, remain closed.
