Coronavirus Updates - April 6, 2020

Coronovirus info for webDear Chattanooga State Community, over the past few weeks, we have shared a significant amount of information with you related to the College’s response to the COVID-19 situation. We’ve sent daily communications to ensure you were aware of changes, as well as aware of resources available to you to help ease the transition to our new temporary normal. Now that we are several weeks into learning and working from home and there are fewer daily updates, we will transition away from daily communications to less frequent communications. We remain committed to open and honest communication.

Please be sure you are using the most recent release, Version 4.6.9 (19253.0401) available for download here. This article contains additional information about the latest release, as well as about upcoming releases.

If there are issues you need help with, please reach out and ask. We want to ensure that our students, faculty and staff have the resources they need to be successful during this temporary situation. While we do not know when it will end, we know it is temporary. We will be stronger because of it. You will get through this. We will get through this.

Rebecca Ashford, Ed.D.
