Summer Classes Moved to Online Delivery
April 2, 2020; 10:50 AM - Message to all faculty and staff of the College of Coastal Georgia from President Michelle Johnston
Good morning, faculty and staff. As we enter day 4 of delivering all of our classes online and complete the 3rd week of limited physical operations on campus, I hope you are finding some level of routine and that you are taking care of yourselves. Thank you all for the many, many positive ways you are supporting our students and each other!
As you may already be aware, Governor Kemp has issued a “shelter in place” order for the entire state, effective tomorrow. While this order may impact our personal lives according to the specifics of the directive, our operations at the College will not be drastically altered. The business continuity plan currently in place will continue until further notice. For those of us who are traveling to and from campus for essential operations, please be prepared to show your College ID card if it is requested and verbally confirm that you are traveling for work-related purposes. If you do not have a College ID card and are required to come to campus, please notify your supervisor so that other provisions can be made for identification. For our students traveling to a location for wi-fi access in order to complete their academic work, presentation of identification and explanation of their purpose is all that should be needed. If you or someone you know experiences issues related to the shelter in place order, please email help@ccga.edu for assistance. We are closely monitoring this account and will provide assistance quickly.
With regard to ongoing academic operations, the University System of Georgia has announced that all of its institutions will deliver Maymester and Summer terms fully online, with the intention of resuming face-to-face operations for the Fall term if health conditions allow. I will be sharing this update with our students this morning, as well.
Thank you for continuing to navigate through this together and for making the best of it. Please take care, support one another, and be well!
