In-person classes will be taught remotely for the first week of the semester, which begins Tuesday, Jan. 18. The affected classes will return to in-person instruction the following Monday, Jan. 24.

The health and well-being of students and employees is the top priority of SMCC. President Joe Cassidy said it appears that COVD-19 cases are starting to level off in parts of the Northeast, and that the College is hopeful that going remote for the first week of the semester will help continue that trend. Residence hall students will still move in over the weekend of Jan. 14-17.
