ACC’s Coronavirus announcement page: https://www.austincc.edu/coronavirus
Briefly:
- Spring Break is extended a week for students
- Students return to (online) class on Monday, March 30 (not to campuses)
- We will take the week of March 23 to 29 to prepare (and help our faculty prepare) to move to online teaching
IMPORTANT: Update your contact information with ACC to receive updates and information
I’m focusing here on our core instructional mission; review the announcement for other precautionary measures.
I realize that this is a challenging situation. As instructional leaders, our immediate task is to manage this critical situation as best we can in pursuit of our mission. We will direct our efforts to a student-centered, supportive response, consistent with that mission.
Bookmark and visit ACC’s Coronavirus update page frequently. Other information resources are available on this blog (in the right navbar).
If anything, student support will be more important than ever during this crisis. Let me encourage you to direct faculty, staff, and students to the EARS site if students have needs:http://ears.acclahc.org/
Of course, ACC and the city are also managing a critical situation, so be judicious about resources. According to the most recent announcement, our campuses will remain open and student services will be available at designated locations. (Keep current with updates for more information, and take a moment to Update your contact information.)
This is an evolving situation, and there are no doubt many unanswered questions. I will do my best to provide you accurate and up-to-date information.
