Bucks County Community College To Stay Mostly Remote In Spring
"We did not make any of these decisions lightly," College President Stephanie Shanblatt told students.
NEWTOWN, PA — Spring semester courses at Bucks County Community College will remain mostly online and remote, extending the plan put in place this fall, the college announced Thursday.
Students will be allowed to come to campus for courses that have a required hands-on component, including portions of health sciences, chemistry, culinary arts, kinesiology, workforce training, public safety training and some music and arts.
The plan is identical to what was implemented for the fall semester amid the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic.
