Good Evening AVC Students,
As you know, due to the spike in COVID-positive tests, AVC is working and providing instruction remotely this week (with the exception of some CTE and Health Sciences courses), Tuesday, Jan. 18 - Friday, Jan. 21. We will resume normal campus operations Monday, Jan. 24.
If you need assistance, Student Services departments are working to provide you with virtual services. Please visit our virtual front desk for assistance with appointments, questions, and details by department. The college is NOT closed for operations during the week of remote work and instruction (Jan. 18-21); please access services online, via phone or email, or contact your instructors via phone or email, as we are trying to keep the campus population to a minimum.
If you rely on campus computer labs for your school work, or Zoom access, ITS will offer expanded computer labs during the week of remote instruction (Jan. 18-21). The computer labs will be available on the 3rd floor of Mesquite Hall (MH) from 7:30am – 7pm (Tue. - Thur.) and on Friday from 7:30am – 11:30am on a walk-in basis only (appointments are not necessary). Lab use will be on a first come, first served basis and students will be socially distanced. As a reminder, masks are required while indoors. Please bring your own headphones.
The Marauder Bookstore will be open to the public with shortened hours this week: Tuesday, Jan. 18- Thursday, Jan. 20 from 10am-2pm. The Bookstore will be closed on Friday, Jan. 21 to Sunday, Jan. 23. Staff will continue processing online orders and will allow students the opportunity to pick up their books as needed.
COVID Testing is being provided to AVC students and employees ONLY each day this week Tuesday, Jan. 18-Thursday, Jan. 20 from 11am-3pm.
As a reminder from the initial email sent on Friday, Jan. 14, 2022:
All lecture classes will be remote via Zoom or in the Canvas shell. Most laboratory based CTE classes and all Health Sciences classes will remain on campus and face to face. You should hear from your instructors soon with details about your classes next week. If you do not hear from your instructors, please contact them via email or phone for details about your class format.
Athletics will continue within the statewide athletic protocols. Competitions will continue, but there will be no fans admitted.
If you are coming to campus, please complete the daily self-screening survey found in myAVC. Please continue to follow all safety protocols, and remember that testing is available 4-days per week at the stadium for AVC students and employees.
We are continuously monitoring this situation and will provide updates as needed. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this challenging situation.
We hope you all stay healthy and safe.
