Planning for Spring Quarter
As you may know, Governor Inslee announced today that he is requiring colleges to operate remotely for the next several weeks, which will affect how we operate and provide classes in spring quarter. The College is working on plans now for continuity of instructional and service operations for spring quarter and will share more information on Monday, March 16.
