THIS CRYSTAL BALL PREDICTS.... YOUR SPRING FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT!

PLANNING YOUR SCHEDULE Please note that due to Stafe of California revisions to course reimbursement, NO Spring online classes can be recorded. In other words, there is no reimbursement if courses are offered recorded. Thus, be sure to plan your weekly class schedule so that you can attend your online courses live on the day/time stated in the class schedule. Thank you for your understanding.

SPRING HEALTH CLASS NEWS As an academic department, the Emeritus Institute is obligated to focus on Student Outcomes, not only because they are required by the State of California, but also since they are vital to the integrity of our lifelong learning program. With this in mind, and to keep in line with continuing pandemic health concerns, all Spring 2022 Health/Fitness classes will remain online due to mask requirements, except Aquatics classes. The review of virus variant updates by our District leads to the conclusion that Saddleback College Students will continue wearing masks in the Spring 2022 Semester. Wearing a mask while exercising in-person would be difficult and a hindrance to full successful student fitness outcomes. We realize many of you may be disappointed in this decision, but our focus must remain on our students' health, the teaching sites we partner with, and the high standards of our lifelong learning program. Along with you, we look forward to in-person health classes in the future.
