Wayne County Community College District issued the following announcement on Aug. 20
WCCCD has made the difficult decision to transition all courses planned for in-person instruction for the Fall 2020 semester to alternative virtual modalities, with a very small number of exceptions for health science and career education courses that require hands-on learning experiences.
We based this decision on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's executive orders and guidance from the CDC, MIOSHA, and other governmental agencies. The number of COVID-19 cases in the region have not sufficiently abated, and there is uncertainty as to whether there will be a spike in infections during the fall.
Even though we have established rigorous protocols and are confident that WCCCD is a safe place to work and study, we have chosen to eliminate even the limited risk involved in offering face-to-face instruction during the Fall 2020 semester.
Online courses scheduled for the Fall 2020 semester will be provided as planned and are not impacted by this decision.
