Santa Barbara City College will begin its spring 2022 semester fully online, with the majority of classes being taught remotely until Thursday, February 17. In-person classes and services will resume on Tuesday, February 22.
“This is not a decision we have made lightly,” said SBCC Superintendent Kindred Murillo. “COVID-19 is surging in our community and across the state and country, and there are concerns that our local health-care system could become overwhelmed in the coming weeks.”
The semester begins on January 18, and most classes, services, and operations will be temporarily remote through Thursday, February 17. However, the following classes will remain in-person: CTE classes with “hands-on” instruction; science labs, though lectures will remain online; physical education, though activity classes with lectures will remain online; Associate Degree of Nursing classes; Athletics courses and competition; Noncredit Parent Child Workshop courses; Vitality Program courses; Older Adult Program lab courses; Adult High School/GED/ESL courses; and other hands-on noncredit courses.
