Plan allows college to move forward or backward depending on COVID-19 perceived risks
Dr. Lisa Rhine
Yavapai Community College’s return to campus plan for August 17 features a set of five phases. The phases allows the college to move forward and backward depending on the risk presented by Covid-19.
President Lisa Rhine says that “The goal of this plan is to help keep our students, faculty, staff, and visitors as safe as possible by mitigating the spread of COVID-19. “I believe that this plan will not only help keep everyone safe but also allows our students to continue to receive high-quality educational opportunities in all of our programs.”
The College will implement the plan August 3 and begin with the orange phase.
In the orange phase, most credit classes and all lectures will be taught in a virtual environment.
There will be in-person classes held for programs requiring hands-on learning opportunities, such as lab-based or experiential the classes. However, these classes are limited to groups of 10 people.
The in-person groups must adhere to all safety protocols established by the department and College.
Additional details regarding the orange phase can be found online on the Yavapai College website.
