WELLESLEY – MassBay Community College President David Podell announced today, September 16, MassBay will offer its spring 2021 courses exclusively online or remote, except for a handful that involve laboratory work.
This format mirrors how the fall semester courses are currently being delivered to students in fall 2020.
“After carefully considering the current state of affairs regarding the pandemic, and in keeping with our paramount objective of limiting the spread of COVID-19 among the MassBay community, we have decided not to open the College to on-campus classes and activities this spring,” said President Podell. “We have proven our ability to effectively offer our courses online and remotely while continuing to offer our students the robust academic and personal support services that are the hallmark of a MassBay education.”
