Herkimer County Community College is planning to return to in-person instruction for the 2021-22 academic year.
The college announced the decision Wednesday in a news release, adding that students can expect to receive a more traditional college experience, with the majority of classes being held face-to-face at the start of the fall 2021 semester.
The college shifted to remote instruction in March 2020 and have continued with remote learning for both the fall 2020 and spring 2021 semesters with a limited number of on-campus, in-person classes and labs.
“While we are optimistic about the fall, we will of course continue to monitor the situation, as the health and safety of students, staff and faculty are and will remain our priority,” said Cathleen McColgin, president of HCCC. “Our plans to return to in-person class delivery will be contingent on positivity rates and guidance from SUNY, the CDC, and local and state public health agencies.”
