objects that are frequently touched. This process will include cleaning objects/surfaces not
ordinarily cleaned daily (e.g., doorknobs, light switches, classroom sink handles,
countertops).
Frequency of cleaning will follow standard recommendations according to the life of the
virus.
If an area has been vacant for over seven days, the need for deep clean is minimized. If an
area has not been closed or vacant for seven days, maintenance and housekeeping will
clean hard surfaces using approved cleaning measures and while wearing appropriate PPE.
Soft surfaces such as chairs and carpets will be cleaned as necessary. HVAC filters will be
cleaned, disinfected, or replaced.

provided to staff and faculty so that commonly used surfaces (e.g., keyboards, desks,
remote controls) can be wiped down before use. The supervisors will also ensure adequate
supplies to support cleaning and disinfection practices for maintenance and housekeeping
staff, instructors for classrooms and labs, and instructors and staff for offices and common
areas.
Daily (Monday through Friday) disinfection by maintenance and housekeeping staff will
occur in the following areas:
Restrooms – all surfaces
Entrance doors to common areas and classrooms twice daily
Tables and desks in common areas and classrooms
Floors in common areas and classrooms
Utilized equipment in classrooms, labs, and common areas*

INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES
Modified Instructional Schedule for Thanksgiving End Date
All in person instruction will conclude by November 20, 2020.
November 23 - 25 are non-instructional days.
November 30 - December 3 will be online review for finals.
December 4 - December 10 final exams will be offered online.
Exams will be administered using the Respondus Lockdown Browser with Monitoring for test
proctoring. However, the software does not work on certain computers (Chromebooks). The College
will offer scheduled test proctoring through the library for students who do not have the ability to
download the testing software. Academic students will schedule a specific time with the library to take
a test. The College will limit the number of students testing at one time to ensure social distancing and
to allow for proper sanitizing of desk space and computers following use. Students will be required to
wear a mask. This information will be placed on the syllabi of all courses (updated August 7, 2020).
MSSC students will also schedule a specific time with a designated test proctor to take the MSSC
certifications. The College will limit the number of students testing at one time to ensure social
distancing and to allow for proper sanitizing of desk space and computers following use. Students will
be required to wear a mask. This information will be placed on the syllabi of the MSSC courses and all
technical courses (updated August 7, 2020).
Delivery Plan for Academic, Technical, and Health Courses
Academic courses will be delivered in the following formats: Online and Virtual. Virtual classes
(synchronous online) will have a designated meeting day and time, but all classes will meet virtually
through Microsoft Teams.
Nursing will utilize on line lectures and small in-person skills labs assessments. Please refer to the
Division of Health Sciences Plan on page 36.
Technical classes
All OAD courses will be offered in a Virtual (i.e., online) format. In situations wherein a CTE course
in the AUT, CIS, COS, ILT, MSP, and WDT programs is totally theoretical, the course will be
taught using only the Virtual (i.e., online) format. Virtual formats will include synchronous and/or
asynchronous online components. For the synchronous components, students will have a designated
meeting day and time in which to meet virtually through Microsoft Teams. Asynchronous learning will
take place through video captured lectures and opportunities to learn from materials stored online.
For the CTE courses incorporating lab time, the predominant instructional format for courses in AUT,
CIS, COS, ILT, MSP, and WDT will be a Hybrid format with a face-to-face component for the
course. These Hybrid courses will have a reduced number of students (maximum of 50% capacity) to
ensure that social distancing guidelines are adhered to. When social distancing is not feasible (e.g.,
AUT/ILT or machine shop lab), all students and instructors will wear face coverings and will follow
CDC hygiene protocols for cleaning work areas. Note that each discipline may require even more
stipulations (e.g., Cosmetology) as recommended by the Governor’s committee
recommendations. Students will sign into lab/machine areas with logging of date and time. Hybrid
format courses may have either/both synchronous and asynchronous online components. For the
Reopen for Fall Plan 32
Central Alabama Community College
synchronous components, students will have a designated meeting day and time in which to meet
virtually through Microsoft Teams. Asynchronous learning will take place through video captured
lectures and opportunities to learn from materials stored online. Students in these programs/disciplines
must wear a face covering at all times in class/lab areas.
Some CTE courses have only a lab component and will thus use the Traditional, face-to-face, format.
These courses will have a reduced number of students (maximum of 50% capacity) to ensure that
social distancing guidelines are adhered to. When social distancing is not feasible (e.g., AUT/ILT or
machine shop lab), all students and instructors will wear face coverings and will follow CDC hygiene
protocols for cleaning work areas. Students will sign into lab/machine areas with logging of date and
time. Lectures in all CTE courses will be recorded for students and posted in Moodle for those who are
prevented from attending due to illness.
Non-Credit
For all Non-credit CTE instruction, the same protocols and instructional formats will be used as with
the For-credit courses. All students and instructors will wear face coverings and will follow CDC
hygiene protocols for cleaning work areas, social distancing, and tracking of which students are using
what workspaces in the labs when the instruction is occurring at CACC. For all off-site instruction, all
students and instructors will wear face coverings, social distancing, and will follow CDC hygiene
protocols. Any additional protocols established by the companies for onsite instruction will be adhered
to.
The following remote instruction clause will be added to all enrollment forms: In the event Central
Alabama Community College should experience the need for all in-person classes to transition to
remote instruction due to pandemic or other event warranting the need for such plans, such
communication will be provided to students. This communication will provide details pertaining to the
program's remote instructional plan to complete the necessary theory, lab, and/or clinical to meet the
course objectives necessary for successful course completion in a remote environment. For further
information concerning this please contact your course instructor.
The following language will be added to contracts to address potential inability of fulfillment of
contractual obligations to business and industry: Neither party shall be deemed to be in violation of
this Agreement if prevented from performing any of its obligations hereunder for any reasons beyond
its control, including without limitation, acts of God or of the public enemy, flood, storm, strikes, or
statutory regulations, rule, or action of any federal, state, or local government, or any agency thereof.
Adult Education
The primary format for Adult Education instruction will be Virtual. This may occur either through the
mailing of hardcopy materials (learning packets) to students or through online instruction using
distance technology. Adult Education will need to test some students via face-to-face due to proctoring
of tests that may/may not involve proprietary software that cannot be accessed or downloaded onto a
student’s computer. It may also be due to a situation in which the student’s computer/laptop/electronic
device does not have a webcam – making virtual proctoring impossible. In these situations, (see items 1
and 2 below), no more than 6 students will be at any given location at any given time.
New students to the Adult Educational experience will have all preliminary conversations conducted
over the phone or email. Once student information is gathered, ACT WorkKeys and/or DRC TABE
assessments will be conducted. These assessments cannot be conducted virtually. Once assessments
are completed, students who do not have online capabilities will have learning packets set up by their
Reopen for Fall Plan 33
Central Alabama Community College
instructors and disseminated via a drive-by pickup. This method will be used approximately twice per
month until they earn their GED diploma.
1. ACT WorkKeys cannot be proctored remotely and will require in person testing in
Adult Education.
2. DRC TABE (one federal program assessment instrument) will be proctored
remotely for those Adult Education students who have a computer with webcam
(required for proctoring). Adult Education is purchasing laptops with webcams for
loaning to students for this purpose, but these supplies are limited. As such, for those
who will not have access to a computer with a webcam, it will be necessary to conduct
in person testing.
Truck Driving
Truck Driving program will continue face-to-face instruction for the Fall with one student in
each cab at a time. All students and instructors will wear face coverings and will follow CDC
hygiene protocols for cleaning work areas, social distancing, and tracking of which students are
using what trucks.
Contingency Plan for Possible Fall Closure
All academic courses and some technical courses will be developed with an online component so that
students may complete course requirements remotely if they become sick, if they must be quarantined,
or if they do not feel comfortable returning to class. In most all technical courses, it is not possible to
conduct/work on lab projects virtually. In the event that these labs/projects are not possible to be
completed, the student will not be able to complete the course and be awarded an Incomplete and
necessitate the completion of any work not able to be completed in their given term to be completed by
the end of the subsequent term. Because all academic and some technical courses will be developed
with an online component, instruction can transition to remote in the event the College must close.
Each syllabus will include the following notification to students:
Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, on campus meetings and/or labs will require social
distancing, use of face coverings, and other measures to ensure the safety of everyone in the class. Any
face-to-face classes may convert instruction online format at any time depending on the status of the
COVID-19 outbreak. Course content will be delivered through Moodle, CACC's learning management
system and/or other third-party instructional software.
Professional Development
Professional development may occur on-site in small groups to allow for social distancing. Professional
development will include instructions on CDC cleaning guidelines as well as proper hygiene protocols.
Additional professional development will occur virtually on a variety of topics to include best practices
in online teaching and learning.
Faculty will include link to CACC website with COVID-19 information in email signature line. In
addition, ORI 105 will include a module on COVID-19 symptoms and how to access this information
via the CACC website.

Programs and Courses Providing In-Person Instruction
Certain programs and disciplines will offer classes in hybrid format. Many courses will be online or
virtual (synchronous online). The remaining classes will be offered in hybrid format to allow students
the option to attend class in person. Enrollment in skills labs have been reduced to allow for social
distancing, and CDC recommended cleaning protocols will be enforced. Following are programs /
disciplines offering hybrid and traditional classes:

Safety Protocols for Face-to-Face Instruction
All classrooms, labs, and vehicles will undergo a thorough cleaning per CDC guidelines twice per day
by maintenance. Between classes, faculty will have proper cleaning materials to adequately sanitize
shared resources and materials. All employees and students will wear facial coverings in common
areas. Classrooms will be configured with chairs six feet apart to allow for social distancing. Students
will not share resources during lab. Face coverings will be worn during labs. All resources (desks, lab
stations, slides, microscopes, etc.) will be properly sanitized before subsequent use.
Virtual and In-Person Office Hours
Faculty will conduct virtual office hours via Microsoft Teams. In-person office hours may be scheduled
on an as-needed basis. Social distancing guidelines and use of face coverings will be enforced. At the
beginning of term, faculty will submit their schedule of office hours to the appropriate Dean, and all
office hours will be posted on the course syllabi and in the online course platform.
Library Services
Libraries will continue to offer remote services and curbside pick-up for textbooks. On an as-needed
basis, the library will schedule appointments to allow students access to computers. This process will
prevent large numbers of people gathering in the library. Social distancing guidelines and cleaning
protocols will be followed.
Reopen for Fall Plan 35
Central Alabama Community College
Reduction of Students in Lab and Classroom Settings
A maximum capacity rate (50%) has been determined for all classrooms based on social distancing
guidelines. Hybrid and traditional class sizes have been reduced to accommodate for social distancing.
Students in labs will be required to wear facial coverings.
Lab/Simulation Experiences
Some labs and simulations will occur virtually. Those labs that meet face-to-face will have
significantly reduced class sizes to accommodate for social distancing. Students and faculty will be
required to wear face coverings. Students will not share resources during lab. All resources (desks, lab
stations, slides, microscopes, etc.) will be properly sanitized before subsequent use.
Syllabi Addendum
Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, on campus meetings and/or labs will require social
distancing, use of face coverings, and other measures to ensure the safety of everyone in the class. Any
face-to-face classes may convert to a completely online format at any time depending on the status of the
COVID-19 outbreak. Course content will be delivered through Moodle, CACC's learning management
system, and/or other third-party instructional software.
Division of Health Sciences
Temperatures will be checked prior to admittance in the nursing buildings and classrooms. Hand sanitizer
use will be required prior to admission to skills lab. Masks will be required to be worn in both simulation
and the skills lab at all times with social distancing required. Beds and mannequins will be cleaned
between student groups by faculty with college recommended cleaning agents and according to CDC
guidelines.
Face to Face simulation will resume for fall semester. Groups will be limited to four students per
simulation. Only one group of students will be allowed per simulation time frame. Students will wear
face coverings and socially distance.
NUR 112 is a heavy lab course that teaches fundamental nursing skills that relate to patient safety. These
competencies (validations) are linked to graduate outcomes for both the PN and RN especially as they
relate to fundamental patient safety, quality improvement, and patient centered care.
NUR 113 required 45 lab hours that include sterile procedures as well as more advanced skill validations.
These competencies (validations) are linked to graduate competencies for both the PN and RN related to
patient safety, patient centered care, prioritization, and safe medication administration. These labs will be
in the afternoon following their virtual class time with a lunch break in between. Only 50% of students
will participate each week on each campus as these labs will alternate weeks.
NUR 209 is a ten credit course that consists of 45 lab hours that include advanced skill validations. These
competencies (validations) are linked to graduate outcomes that prepare the LPN mobility student for
Reopen for Fall Plan 36
Central Alabama Community College
more advanced concepts needed for their RN role. These students will meet in lab for first five weeks of
class only.
Simulation is needed for NUR 113, 211, and 209 as many healthcare partners are limiting access to
specialty populations due to the potential for cross-contamination and exposure. While students will have
access to virtual simulation, face to face simulation with groups of 4 or less, are needed to reinforce
learning with immediate faculty feedback to reinforce learning that will meet graduate outcomes.
All MAT 111 and 125 courses will be offered online for the Childersburg campus except for onsite at
BRHS and EBTC.

Plan for Reopening Truck Driver Program
The information contained in this plan is based on up-to-date data and readiness. It includes
basic perspectives:
Mitigates risk of resurgence
Protects the most vulnerable
In order to prepare and cover these two perspectives, the following plan is developed, keeping in
mind what has to be done before students arrive for their first class back at college, what needs to
be done during the classes, and what is done in between classes to both mitigate and protect. The
guidelines in this document are based upon Governor Ivey’s Advisory Committee guidelines for
reopening Alabama and those from the Alabama Community College System Chancellor’s
MEMO #2020-EXE-045.
As the Truck Driver program begins offering “in-person instruction in career and technical
courses and testing,” CACC personnel and students “must adhere to the strict protocols and
social distancing requirements” of the aforementioned directives. Additional protocols for face-
to-face instruction may also include, but not be limited to, the following:
Communication will be provided to each student about the opportunity for make-up of
in-person labs, clinicals, certifications, testing and other coursework under the conditions
set forth by the college and the timeframe for completing the instruction. The College
will work with students to the greatest extent possible to schedule safe in person
instruction.
PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF CLASSES
The maximum number of students in a truck driving class is restricted to three in a
classroom when online instruction is not feasible and one in the truck for actual seat time.
O For instructor evaluation, one student and one instructor, both wearing PPE, will
be in the truck.
O Classroom instruction will be provided when online instruction is not feasible
and will have a restriction of three students in the classroom. Social distancing
and face coverings for instructors and students will be required.
The Instructor will provide each student with a COVID-19 Guideline form and required

Plan for Reopening Cosmetology
The information contained in this plan is based on up-to-date data and readiness. It includes
basic perspectives:
Mitigates risk of resurgence
Protects the most vulnerable
In order to prepare and cover these two perspectives, the following plan is developed, keeping in
mind what has to be done before students arrive for their first class back at college, what needs to
be done during the classes, and what needs to be done in between classes to both mitigate and
protect. The guidelines in this document are based upon Governor Ivey’s Advisory Committee
guidelines for reopening Alabama and those from the Alabama Community College System
Chancellor’s MEMO #2020-EXE-045.
As the Cosmetology program begins offering “in-person instruction in career and technical
courses and testing,” CACC personnel and students “must adhere to the strict protocols and
social distancing requirements” of the aforementioned directives.
Additional protocols for face-to-face instruction may also include, but not be limited to, the
following:
Communication will be provided to each student about the opportunity for make-up of
in-person labs, clinicals, certifications, testing and other coursework under the conditions
set forth by the college and the timeframe for completing the instruction. The College
will work with students to the greatest extent possible to schedule safe in person
instruction.
PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF CLASSES
The maximum number of students in the classroom/lab is restricted to 12 when online
instruction is not feasible. Social distancing and face coverings for instructors and students
will be required.
The Instructor will provide each student with a COVID-19 Guideline form and required
student waiver to review and execute before returning to the class. The student will be
required to sign the waiver acknowledging understanding and will adhere to the COVID-
19 guidelines and return the waiver to the Instructor before returning to campus. The
Instructor will forward the waiver to the Dean of Students.
