Instruction and student services at the campuses of the Contra Costa Community College District will continue to be done remotely through the end of the spring semester, district officials said.
Remote operations at Contra Costa College in San Pablo, the Pleasant Hill and San Ramon campuses of Diablo Valley College, Los Medanos College in Pittsburg, and the Brentwood Center are needed to conform with the
extension of the countywide shelter-in-place order. The order was issued March 31 by Contra Costa Public Health and continuing through at least May 3 to stem the spread of novel coronavirus.
“We are trying to do our part to minimize the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) by suspending face-to-face interactions with our students,” said the district’s interim Chancellor Gene Huff. “This has been a
challenging time for both our students and staff as we transitioned to remote operations.
He added, “We want to thank our students for their perseverance and flexibility, and our staff for their tremendous effort to transition to a fully remote operation. We believe this decision balances the need to stay
safe and healthy during this time, and informs students and staff on what to expect for the rest of this semester.”
The district said it will offer a summer session of instruction and student services remotely, “with a plan to offer face-to-face classes should the shelter-in-place order is lifted and deemed safe to do so.”
Registration for the summer course begins on April 20.
Information on summer classes that may be offered and operational changes made as a result of the public health emergency are online at the website for each college, or the district website at www.4cd.edu.
