Coronavirus Updates - March 18, 2020

Corona Virus info for webCollege Exit Exams

The exit exam requirement will be waived for May graduates. Summer graduates will be contacted about this requirement at a later date.

Commencement

We have made the very difficult decision to cancel the May 9 commencement ceremonies. We are exploring options to postpone commencement to later this year, as well as virtual options. This will not delay the receipt of your diploma, certificate, or transcript provided you have successfully met the requirements for graduation. Grad Finale, originally scheduled for March 31 and April 1, is canceled. Caps and gowns, cords, medals, and awards will be delivered to students at a later date to be determined.

Digital Devices for Student Use

A limited number of laptops and tablets will be available to students who are in need of a device to use for the remainder of the Spring semester. Thank you to  Tech Goes Home who is loaning the College these devices. Please complete the online reservation form or call 423-697-4461 to reserve a device. These are available on a first come, first served basis. Students will pick-up and return the equipment in the Testing Center located in IMC Building, Room 122 (View Campus Map). Students will need to present their student I.D. at the time of pick-up.

Lab Courses

Please contact your instructor for lab information.
