March 13 update to Seattle Central College’s COVID-19 response

Dear Seattle Central Community,

Today Gov. Jay Inslee ordered all higher education institutions in the state to switch from in-person to remote instruction and to limit their business operations, from Tuesday, March 17, through April 24.

Seattle Central College has already implemented these changes through March 27, so we do not need to make any more changes or adjustments for the rest of winter quarter. However, the new directive will impact the start of spring quarter.

We are waiting to get more direction from the state, before making decisions regarding the mode and timing of our spring quarter and how we will adapt our business and student services. We will share details about our decision as soon as possible.

In the meantime, please follow the public health guidelines to practice good hygiene, stay away from large groups of people, and stay home if you are sick. If you haven’t signed up for text and phone emergency alerts, please do so now. For the latest updates on our COVID-19 response, visit this website.

Thank you for your patience and your flexibility. These are uncertain times, and we are working hard to keep you safe and to minimize the impact of this health emergency on your academic success.

President, Seattle Central College
