Due to the increasing threat of Coronavirus, most LBCC classes will transition to online-only beginning Wed., March 18th.
According to today’s email from Vice President Kathy Scott, all school-sponsored events will also be cancelled until April 12th.
Campus is not officially closing and operations will continue as normal until Wed.
Stacey Toda clarified to Viking News that while events are cancelled effective immediately, there are no instructions indicating that students should stop attending classes until Wed.
All classified employees will still be required to stay on campus, but LBCC plans to have its faculty and students transition to an online-only format by March 18, utilizing Canvas, ConferZoom, and other modalities.
There are no known cases of COVID-19 at LBCC currently.
Today, Cal State Long Beach halted all in-person classes, along with numerous other local schools.
A list of classes that will not be moving online will be available on the www.LBCC.edu/CoronaVirus website by the end of the week.
The LBCC COVID-19 Response Team is taking further action by bringing in extra cleaning crews to perform a deep clean on high-traffic areas, and stocking up on cleaning supplies.
