[more]   September 17, 2020 Dear Students, I am writing to provide an important announcement regarding the upcoming Winter session and Spring 2021 semester.  Our country remains in a declared public health emergency and our best health experts agree that we are still far from a full recovery without a vaccine or responsive therapeutics. Therefore, LACCD will deliver all classes for the Winter session and the Spring 2021 semester in primarily remote/online learning environments for the remainder of the academic year.  We are working closely with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to provide safe, limited access for on-campus instruction that supports the State’s Essential Infrastructure Workforce.  However, courses that can be taught remotely and online will remain so for these upcoming terms. We do not make this decision lightly, but your safety, and the safety of our faculty and staff, must be our top priority.  We know this is disappointing news for many, but, as conditions improve, we are also hopeful that we will see a return to some additional on-campus activities in the Spring 2021 term. For now, I want to thank you for your confidence in LACCD and our colleges under these difficult circumstances.  I recognize your uncommon dedication to your educational success and your resiliency. LACCD Proud. You are the best of us! With my deepest admiration and respect,  Francisco C. Rodriguez, Ph.D. Chancellor Los Angeles Community College District www.laccd.edu
