President's Update - June 18, 2020

Dear Chattanooga State Community,
We continue our planning for the fall 2020 semester, which we expect primarily to be a combination of hybrid and online classes. The plans we are making not only for classes but for every function of our college operations are aligned with the TN Pledge for Higher Education, with CDC Guidelines, and with guidance from the Hamilton County Health Department.

NEW Tutoring Services Available for Summer

We have contracted with Tutor.com to offer FREE tutoring for current Chattanooga State students who are currently enrolled for the summer term. The Tutor.com service is available for over 140 of our summer courses. To view a complete listing of courses for which Tutor.com is available, please click here. To access Tutor.com, look for the Tutor.com link module in the course content area in eLearn or in some cases, the instructor may have also included a link in the course syllabus.
