Area College Announces Changes
DE QUEEN – UA Cossatot Chancellor Steve Cole has released a letter regarding COVID-19 changes for his school’s campuses in Nashville, Ashdown and De Queen:
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR
The COVID-19 epidemic has created one of the most perilous times in Arkansas history. UA Cossatot stands ready to adapt to these new times and while we are dealing with these changes, we will always respect the health and well-being of our students, employees, and the public we serve.
Effective immediately, UA Cossatot students in lecture courses will complete their entire spring semester using the Blackboard Online Learning Platform. While we understand this presents a unique way of learning to some students, it is the best and safest method we have in helping students complete their semester. As for our students who are enrolled in technical courses (Medical Professions, Welding, Industrial Maintenance, Cosmetology, Agriculture, etc.), we will be making a determination next week on how we will best serve these students. Our faculty, student services staff, Educational Resource Center, and our administration stand ready to assist students in any way possible to help them achieve their desired learning goals during these tough times.
Also effective immediately, UA Cossatot will continue to keep our campuses closed to students and visitors at least through April 3rd and our employees will be working either on campus or by their remote work schedules. While on our campuses, our employees will be strictly observing the rules of social distancing and cleanliness as we continue to fight the battle against COVID-19.
You can always find more UA Cossatot information on Facebook (ED88 and UAC) and on our CCCUA.EDU website.
Thank You,
Dr. Steve Cole
Chancellor, UA Cossatot
