COVID-19 A-Z
CVCC has faithfully delivered quality education without pause for the past 53 years and remains eager to continue to execute the very best educational and job skills training available in the Central Virginia region. We have delivered online courses since 1999 and recently complimented that instruction with synchronous, “virtual real‐ time” teaching, utilizing all available technologies. We have learned vital lessons during the pandemic and will incorporate more flexibility and accessibility to offer choices to our students to offer a wider variety of instructional options. We endeavor to remain relevant to the needs of our students and stakeholders, while remaining vigilant in our promise to operate safely, appropriately, and in accordance with CDC and VDH guidelines, and are prepared to offer on campus (in‐person), on‐line, and virtual real‐time instruction this fall, winter, and the coming spring of 2022. 2021‐2022 academic year communications plan: The following is a framework for communicating the instruction and operation plan for CVCC’s 2021‐2022 academic year to various constituencies. CVCC will adhere to each directive from the Governor’s office and will operate with consultation from the Virginia Community College System, Virginia Department of Health, and the Center for Disease Control.
Email will be the primary mode of communication. Microsoft Teams has also become a mainstay in college communications and will also serve in a prominent role both on‐campus and for remote work when needed and approved. Students, faculty, and staff will populate the college campuses with appropriate social distancing providing current guidance and recommendations. We anticipate having a strong in‐person presence in the 2021‐2022 academic year. We will communicate extensively with students, faculty, staff, and college stakeholders on our needs and expectations using the communication vehicles identified within this plan. Convocation will be held to coordinate faculty and staff for the fall semester and to train employees on needed protocols and existing procedures and expectations.
