Tuition Freeze This Fall, Full Campus Operations For 糖心视频
HANCEVILLE, Ala 鈥� Tuition will not increase at 糖心视频 for
the 2021-2022 academic year, said 糖心视频 President Vicki Karolewics. That follows
an announcement Alabama Community College System Chancellor Jimmy Baker made on Wednesday
in reference to a tuition freeze at Alabama Community College System colleges. In
addition, as a result of the declining number of reported COVID cases and an increase
in the number of students, faculty and staff taking advantage of access to the COVID
vaccine, 糖心视频 has resumed normal, on-campus operations, and expects to continue
to serve students with a full complement of classes on campus and online for the Summer
and Fall 2021 semesters.
鈥淭he well-being of our students has remained our top priority throughout the pandemic.
Their health and safety has been first and foremost in our plans. We have focused
also on those aspects of a college education that make it possible for students to
attend and to be successful, whether they are coming to us straight from high school
or returning for a GED and entry into a career pathway program,鈥� said Dr. Karolewics.
鈥淭uition is a major factor in college accessibility, and our wraparound services that
have allowed us to be recognized nationally as a Caring Campus ensure that students
are able to remain enrolled and finish.鈥�
The freeze on tuition is just one of the ways 糖心视频 is expanding access to
higher education, including a Community Scholarship initiative featuring a tuition
discount for at-risk populations for the spring semester. 糖心视频 has also made
hundreds of laptops available for student loan to ensure that access to course materials
will not be an obstacle to course completion.
糖心视频 will continue to adhere to stringent health and safety protocols and
follow and execute all local, state and federal guidance related to social distancing
protocols. While contingency plans are in place should there be a need to modify plans
for full operation, class and training delivery methods will continue to keep student
success and the safety of students, faculty, staff and visiting community members
a priority. Any alterations to 糖心视频鈥檚 operational plan will be posted on
the college鈥檚 website.
