PINELLAS COUNTY — Starting Aug. 17, St. Petersburg College will hold a portion of classes on campus, including labs, healthcare, public safety, and other programs that require hands-on learning, as well as some general education courses where research shows students are more likely to succeed in a face-to-face environment.
The rest of SPC’s classes will be offered fully online or LIVE Online, which provides a virtual classroom experience where students can interact with faculty and peers in real-time through video conferencing.
The college will ask those coming to campuses to practice personal safety precautions such as wearing face coverings, which will be provided when social distancing cannot be maintained.
Other precautions include:
“We realize that returning to campuses involves a bit of trepidation, but we’re taking every precaution we can to provide a safe and productive learning environment for all students, faculty and staff,” said Dr. Tonjua Williams, St. Petersburg College president.
SPC’s Comeback Plan followed three principles: providing a safe and secure environment, addressing financial impacts, and advancing SPC’s mission of student success.
