Augusta Technical College is implementing its campus reopening plan according to guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Resuming On-Campus Student Services

On Monday, July 20, 2020, the College will reopen to the public and allow students and guests to meet with college personnel by appointment and walk-in from Mondays-Thursdays from 8am to 5:000 pm. All Student Services departments will be closed to the public at each campus location on Fridays; however, the College will offer virtual appointments Mondays-Fridays. 

Each department will provide further communication regarding guidelines for using its services. 

Safety Measures

The College continues to prioritize the safety and well-being of students, employees, and guests. As the College reopens, the following safety measures have been established:

  • Students, employees, and campus guests should follow social distancing guidelines whenever possible while on campus.

  • Only the visitor (student or potential student) should come into the building. Please do not bring children or other non-essential individuals with you for everyone’s safety. If child care is an issue, you can always schedule a virtual appointment with staff.

  • Students, employees, and campus guests will be required to wear a face mask or appropriate face-covering in public areas on campus. The College will provide face masks for students and employees.

  • Signage will be posted throughout campus with information on social distancing, appropriate face mask usage, and how to prevent the spread of viruses such as COVID-19.

  • Students, employees, and guests should not come to campus if they are experiencing any of the COVID-19 symptoms or have recently interacted with a known COVID-19 patient.

Fall Courses

Fall Semester 2020 is scheduled to begin August 24, 2020.  In accordance with CDC guidelines, courses will be offered using various formats to ensure the safety of students. Course formats will include online, hybrid with an online component, and in-person/web enhanced component. Instructors will conduct the online component of courses through Blackboard. New and current students who have not registered for fall classes should make an appointment with their advisor to discuss their plans for the fall and register for classes.
