We continue to closely monitor developments and updates from federal and state public health officials regarding the rapidly evolving novel coronavirus (COVID-19) situation. As of today, Chattanooga State has no confirmed cases of COVID-19 on campus. In an effort to do our part to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in the community, we are implementing several contingency options that we feel are necessary to protect the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff. The plan outlined below applies to all Chattanooga State instructional sites.
Spring Break Extended, Classes to Resume Online March 23
Out of an abundance of caution, Chattanooga State is extending spring break for our students by one week, through Sunday, March 22. Faculty and staff should report to campus as usual during the extended break, and the campus will be open. Classes will resume Monday, March 23; and classes will be held online. The extended spring break for our students will allow faculty time to prepare remote instructional delivery. Remote delivery of classes will continue through Tuesday, March 31.
If you are a student without access to internet or a digital device, Chattanooga State will have available options for you.
We are finalizing plans related to online learning and will be communicating those options to you within the coming days. Please check this page regularly for updates.
On-Campus Events Canceled Through March 31
As we take these measures to reduce the risk of exposure, we are canceling or postponing all on-campus events through March 31. See calendar for canceled event information.
College Offices Remain Open
College offices will remain open. Faculty and staff should report as usual. If there are further changes in the College’s operating status based on
COVID-19, our campus community would be notified via the Chattanooga State website, email, and other communication channels.
Our Crisis Management Team will meet daily and will continue to work closely with local and state public health officials as we review all guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Tennessee Department of Health.
