Dear City College Student,

We are now in Week 10 and have gotten to the end of the Spring 2020 term!  This has been a challenging term for all of us.  But we have prevailed.  We have survived COVID-19 and made it through the last 12 weeks safely and continuing to move forward. We at City College are SO PROUD of all our students who met the challenge for Virtual classes, online classes and then returning to campuses to experience your lab based classes with Social Distancing. 

So here is what the Summer term will hold.  Not all City College campuses are in areas that have been approved for full campus re-openings so we are going to continue doing classes the same way we did for the Spring term.

  1. We will have virtual face to face classes using the GOTO meeting software as we did for the Spring term. Your faculty will contact you with log in information. 
  2. Classes that are offered online will only be offered online and students will be registered to take online classes.
  3. This term, we will be offering on-campus Lab classes beginning at the start of the summer term. Please look carefully at your schedule.  We are observing social distancing so that no more than 6 students are in class at any given time.
  4. Virtual Labs – City College now has virtual labs for select science, Allied Health and CVS courses. Your faculty member will give you the log in information for your virtual labs in your Virtual Face to Face classes.
  5. Please let your Program Chair or Director of Education know if you cannot do an online class or virtual lab because you do not have access to a compute or a laptop.
    1. We can schedule time for you in our computer labs on campus using social distancing; please notify us so that we can assist you.
    2. You may also get support on campus for your online class. So again, please let us know what you need.
  6. If you are coming on campus to use the computer lab and/or for your lab based classes, you will need to (a) wear a mask (b) observe the social distancing guidelines (c) have your temperature taken and logged and (d) complete a survey each time you are on campus.
  7. Once we are allowed to have students do externships, we will be contacting students and scheduling you for your clinicals and externships.

Disclosure Regarding Temporary Approval of Distance Education

Students who enroll in a course that is currently being delivered via virtual synchronous delivery are reminded that this will only last through the temporary approval provided by the Florida Commission on Independent Education. The virtual synchronous portion of the program will cease, likely during the time you are participating in the program. When the temporary approval ends, the remainder of the program will revert to in-person teaching on campus.

Current/active students who have moved from the on-campus, in-person teaching format to temporary virtual synchronous format for their courses are reminded their courses will return to on-campus format once the temporary approval ends.

Please contact your program chair or director of education if you have any questions or concerns.

City College continues to follow the format and guidelines outlined by the CDC with regard to group meetings. Many of the Clinical and Externship sites have ceased accepting students until such time as COVID-19 is no longer a threat.  Once that occurs and the sites again allow students, students can then resume those classes.

IG means Incomplete Grade for students who were taking a Pass/No Pass course.  Once students have completed the requirements for the course, it will change to being either Pass or No Pass.

City College is following the guidance of the CDC, local government, state government, affiliation sites and accrediting agencies. If those agencies enact changes, then City College will enact changes as well to ensure alignment and compliance with these agencies.

Students would be notified of any additional changes if any were to happen. Online and Virtual classes should not be impacted because staff and students will be working remotely.

CONGRATULATIONS!  You have successfully completed the Winter 2020 term!

Despite all the issues with COVID-19, you stuck with it and did you!  You go!  You should be proud of yourself and your accomplishments. So now you want to know about what will happen moving forward for the Spring term. It is the goal of City College to ensure that your education continues with minimum disruption while allowing you to #stayhome and #shelterinplace with your family to stay safe and healthy.

Do we still have classes in the Spring? Yes we do!

  1. City College is moving ALL of the students to taking either fully Online classes or Virtual Streaming classes. Any classes that we already had built in MyCity Online (General Education, Business, some Allied Health classes) are now ONLY being offered in online format. If you are in an online class, you will begin receiving emails about logging into MyCity Online this week.
  2. For those classes which are not built for online (ST, AT, Nursing, CVS, PI), we are pioneering some new online strategies for the Spring term. Your faculty or DoE will contact you and give you a GOTO meeting link and you will log into your class virtually. Those classes will be held at the same time as they would had they been on campus. We will send out more communication about this.
  3. The Spring term starts on April 6, 2020.

How will I get information about my Online or Virtual Classes?

  1. You will begin receiving emails from MyCity Online with detailed instructions on what you will need to do. The email that you gave us upon enrollment is where your information will be sent. If you have NOT received an email by Friday, March 27 about your online classes, please contact Natarsha Davis at ndavis@citycollege.edu or at 954-492-5353 Ext 2207.  Please read all of the emails carefully, follow the instructors and contact us immediately if you have any concerns.
  2. For your Virtual classes (where you log into GOTO meeting and have a live streaming class with your instructor), you will receive information about that from your instructions next week.
