Guidance on COVID-19 Executive Order No. 8
Dear CCC Community:
City Colleges continues to move to remote learning, and that move is consistent with the state’s new executive order found here.
As you know, we are working quickly to transition to remote learning, and we will continue to work to decrease the number of essential workers needed to make this transition.
All City Colleges facilities are closed to the public, including students. With the exception of essential staff, no faculty or staff are permitted to work on campus through, at least, April 20. Currently, essential staff has been identified as: engineers, janitors, security, IT personnel, mailroom/central stores personnel, accounts payable, treasury and other key administrators. Everyone else is working remotely.
As a reminder, no classes will be held in-person through April 20th. No student services will be offered in-person through April 20th. Instead, starting Monday, March 23rd, classes will be delivered remotely online, with the exception of the classes on pause. A list of credit classes on pause can be found here. For classes on pause, an instructor will reach out to students with more information. Free adult education classes (GED, ESL, and adult basic education classes) were on pause until March 30th, per the Illinois Community College Board and will remain so until further notice. Most student services will be available remotely online, with more information to come.
Spring Break will be held the week of April 6th, as originally scheduled.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility in this rapidly changing situation.
Chancellor Salgado & Provost Potter

Protect your work and personal assets from hackers
Dear CCC Community:
Global events such as COVID-19 make all of us attractive targets for cybercriminals. Cyber actors may send emails with malicious attachments or links to fraudulent websites to trick victims into revealing sensitive information or donating to fraudulent charities or causes.
There has been a significant increase in phishing emails and new scams which are meant to take advantage of employees or students who are concerned about their health and safety during this challenging time.
City Colleges’ Office of Information Technology encourages individuals to remain vigilant and to take the following precautions:
• Do not give away your password to anybody! Our IT team can help you reset your password, but we shouldn’t know what it is.
• Do not reveal personal or financial information in email, and do not respond to email solicitations for this information.
• Do not click on unexpected links or attachments in email. If in doubt, before you click, forward those emails to infosec@ccc.edu to inquire if the message is legitimate.
• Use trusted sources—such as CCC’s website https://prepare.ccc.edu
Your IT support team, similar to other service providers like Microsoft, Apple or your bank, will not call or contact you unless you requested help.
Stay safe,
Jerrold

Technology supports for students
Dear students,
As you know, City Colleges is planning a move to remote learning in response to the coronavirus situation.
In the meantime, below are some resources to help minimize the disruption to your education. You can also see these tools on our updated website: www.ccc.edu/coronavirus.
Technology needs survey
– It is essential that you complete the survey you were sent on Sunday, March 15th about your technology needs.
The message was sent to your CCC student email with the subject: Important Message from City Colleges: Please tell us your technology needs
– It was sent from this email address: noreply@qemailserver.com
Loaner Laptop Program
– If you have a smartphone, tablet, desktop computer or laptop of your own, you will already be able to access CCC’s tools for online learning such as Brightspace and Zoom.
– CCC is expanding the laptop loaner program. More information about the loaner laptop request process is coming soon.
Internet Access
If you do not have internet access in your home, here are some options:
– The Chicago Public Library is open. Some public libraries may have WiFi hotspots and Chromebooks available to borrow. You can learn more here.
– Comcast is doubling internet speeds for free for low-income residents here in Chicago and nationally as more workers are asked to work from home. If you already have Comcast through their Internet Essentials Program, no action is necessary – this will happen automatically.
– New Comcast Internet Essentials customers will receive their first two months of service for free. You can learn more here.
Online Course Tools
– If your classes move online, your professors will be using tools like Zoom and Brightspace. You can prepare by familiarizing yourself with these platforms before remote classes resume on March 23rd:
