Newsletter from Trustee Dr. Reagan Flowers, District IV
Nov 5, 2020
Dear Neighbors,
As the City of Houston strives to minimize the impact of COVID-19, please remember Houston Community College is open for business and have safety measures in place to assist you in obtaining your educational goal.
The college follows Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines to keep students protected as much as possible from COVID-19. Students are screened upon arrival and HCC facilities are stringently cleaned and sanitized throughout the day.
Because of the pandemic, HCC has shifted many traditional on-campus courses to online, creating more ways to learn now than ever before!
- Flex Campus: Students enroll in classes and have the choice to attend either online or in person at the scheduled dates and times
- Lab-Based Courses: HCC’s skills-based, hands-on lab courses host fewer students per section to enable social distancing
- Online Anytime: Students take classes online at any time. These are traditional online classes, and students never come to campus
- Online on a Schedule: Students take classes online at scheduled class time they select when enrolling, and never come to campus
With the safety of our students first and foremost in our plans, there is no reason to put off pursuing your goal of a college certificate or degree this Spring. Register now for classes which begin January 19! Here is a list of helpful resources to get you started:
