Return to Campus Phases

FSCJ is planning for a phased-in return plan for students, faculty and staff. The different phases were established to align Collegewide need for programs and services with our ability to safely and effectively meet those needs, while providing adequate access and support for students, faculty and staff.

Phase 1

Students: The majority of Fall Term 2020 classes will be held online, while some will be held as “live online,” hybrid or in-person, only for certain classes where it is necessary. Learn more about the different class types. Many College offices including Advising Centers and Business offices will also continue to operate remotely.

Faculty/Staff: Certain employees will return as necessary to support current in-person courses and activities. Essential employees that have remained on campus in order to complete their work will continue to do so. The majority of employees will continue to work remotely.

Phase 2

Students: Some classes will be in the traditional face-to-face format while others will continue to be held online. Others will be held as “live online” or hybrid where it is necessary. Learn more about the different class types. Some College offices such as Campus Bookstores, Libraries and Assessment Centers will begin to reopen but capacity will be limited to allow proper social distancing.

Faculty/Staff: Some employees will be asked to come back onto campus as necessary to support on-campus courses and activities, but occupancy will be limited in each office space. Most employees will continue to work remotely.

Phase 3

Students: More classes will begin to shift back to their traditional face-to-face format, while some classes will continue as online, “live online” or hybrid. Learn more about the different class types. Additional College offices such as Advising Centers, Campus Bookstores, Libraries, Business Offices and Assessment Centers will begin to reopen, but capacity will be limited to allow proper social distancing.

Faculty/Staff: Employees will begin to come back to their offices as appropriate, following current social distancing guidelines and limiting occupancy in a given space. Some employees will continue to work remotely.

 Phase 4

FSCJ’s full reopening will be based on the guidance of federal, state and local agencies, as well as our ability to provide a safe learning and working environment for all students, faculty and staff.

Students: A majority of courses that were traditionally held in-person will shift back to the face-to-face format and most College offices will reopen and begin to operate at full capacity.

Faculty/Staff: A majority of the faculty and staff will be back on campus.
