June 4, 2020 - Fall Remote Instruction

To ensure the safety of students, faculty and staff, Quinsigamond Community College will continue remote instruction for the Fall 2020 semester. The College has developed a Four-Phase Plan to safely return to campus. Each phase is designed for optimum safety and security of the QCC community, while ensuring our ability to deliver high-quality educational instruction and support services.

By choosing to make this decision now, students, faculty and staff can plan for the Fall and there will be little to no disruption of services. We will continue to monitor the situation, and follow the medical advice of local, state, and national organizations and adapt accordingly.  

Currently the College is in Phase One of its Four-Phase Plan.  During this phase, there will be minimal activity on campus. The College anticipates moving to Phase Two for the Summer II session, with the goal of offering a limited number of courses, such as labs or clinical experiences that require direct hands-on participation and cannot be delivered remotely. Support services will be provided as needed for optimum remote instruction learning.

To keep everyone up-to-date, engaged and informed, we will communicate via email. This will give you a brief snapshot of the latest information as it becomes available. Communications will also be posted on www.QCC.edu as well as QCC’s social media channels. We encourage everyone to stay abreast of these communications as they become available.

We want to thank the entire QCC community for their adaptability during these uncertain times.
