Butte College To Offer Remote With Some Face-to-Face Instruction in Fall

Butte College announced fall classes will be offered in a combination of distance learning and face-to-face modalities when the semester begins August 24.

All lecture classes will be offered online. Student Services will continue to be offered largely online. Difficult-to-convert and lab classes will be offered face-to-face when feasible with appropriate health and safety measures in place. Butte is also offering its six week summer session, beginning June 8, primarily in a remote format

“Our students will continue to receive an exceptional education at Butte College regardless of the modalities in which it is offered. I can say that because I have such confidence in our faculty and staff,” said Samia Yaqub, Butte College President. “This decision is in concert with Chancellor Oakley’s recommendation that California community colleges keep as many courses and programs in a remote format as practicable this fall. The health and safety of our students, faculty and staff are paramount.”

Butte College's Safe Reopening Task Force, working under the guidelines provided by county public health officials and the Chancellor’s Office, will make recommendations on how many difficult-to-convert and lab classes we can safely offer on our campuses. This task force will also make recommendations on what support services we can provide face-to-face as well. This work will take place over the next six weeks.

“This continues to be a dynamic situation. Butte and Glenn Counties are starting to open up which gives us an opportunity to learn how our communities respond. Our planning will include measures to pivot towards further restrictions if we see a surge in COVID-19 cases at any time,” said Yaqub.
