Further Delay of In-person Class Start

SOCCCD Chancellor Burke communicated the extended delay

of in-person classes returning to in-person due to

continued high metrics related to COVID-19.

Most of our in-person classes have been meeting online, and while we previously expected courses to start back in-person the week of 2/7,

the new return date for in-person classes starts WEDNESDAY, 2/23/22.

Until then, in-person courses that have been meeting online

will continue to meet online.
