Spring classes will resume remotely on Monday, March 30, as previously announced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This extended closure allows ACC to comply with the stay-at-home orders issued this week by the City of Austin and Travis and Williamson counties. Online classes will continue as planned, and on-site classes will transition to remote learning. All face-to-face instruction and services are suspended until further notice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe understand many students did not choose online as their delivery of instruction. However, the health, safety, and well-being of our community is our first concern. ACC faculty and staff are committed to doing everything possible to ease the transition,\u201d says Dr. Richard Rhodes, ACC president\/CEO. \u201cMany hours have been dedicated to ensure students have virtual access to the support and resources they need to finish the semester strong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this period, campuses will be open only to essential personnel and faculty and staff who are working to facilitate online instruction and remote work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information on ACC\u2019s response to Coronavirus, visit<a href=\"https:\/\/www.austincc.edu\/coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> austincc.edu\/coronavirus<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an effort to help contain the spread of COVID-19 in our region, Austin Community College (ACC) has made the difficult decision to keep campuses closed to students and the public until Monday, April 13. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/2020\/03\/26\/acc-campuses-remain-closed-until-4-13-classes-resume-online-monday-3-30\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3930,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,13,15,17,18],"tags":[1876,3866,2037,3867,3106],"class_list":["post-50342","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business-and-community","category-current-students","category-facstaff-news","category-news-and-announcements","category-official-acc-press-releases","tag-campuses-closed","tag-classes-resume","tag-covid-19","tag-covid-19-update","tag-online-classes"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50342","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3930"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50342"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50342\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50342"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
