Sanitation of door entry handles twice per day

Use of Clorox T 360 to sanitize classrooms, labs, and common areas (ordered)

In accordance with CDC guidelines and with the proper use of PPE, the College currently

uses cleaning products that specifically target and stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

Maintenance and housekeeping will continue to routinely clean and disinfect surfaces and

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.

The maintenance supervisors will ensure disposable wipes and/or cleaning materials are

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*



*Employees and students will be provided with cleaning materials allowing for additional

daily disinfection. Proper PPE and training will be provided prior to usage.

Disinfection Following Identification of Positive Case COVID-19

In the event that an employee or student tests positive for COVID-19, the College will

assess the risk level for other employees and students and respond accordingly. Preventing

an outbreak will utilize a combination of control measures. The College will implement and

follow CDC Cleaning and Disinfectant Guidelines.

If decontamination is not feasible, a period of closure will be considered in order to allow

the virus to naturally deactivate.

Attachment 7

Instructional Plans for

Reopening Fall Semester 2020



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



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



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:

Please refer to Division of Health Sciences on page 36.

Following are programs / disciplines offering face-to-face hybrid classes:

Truck Driving

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.



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



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.

Instructional Plans for

Career Technical Education (CTE)



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

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.

Also, in preparation for reopening the College, the following preparations will be made:

The entrance/exit doors will be sanitized by the instructors before the start of each new

workday and routinely throughout the day – at a minimum of twice per day.

The classroom will be cleaned and disinfected by the instructors to reduce the risk of

transmission.



The interior surfaces of all trucks will be cleaned/disinfected with a 60% alcohol

solution or a hospital grade disinfectant.

An adequate supply of preventative material inventory (soap, sanitizer, thermometers,

etc.) will be maintained at all times.

All classes will have a sign-in sheet in which the name of the student, date, and time

will be logged for contact tracing purposes.

Instructors and students will have a place to wash hands or alcohol-based hand rubs

containing at least 60% alcohol.

All inbound materials/packages will be sprayed and disinfected and remain untouched

for 48 hours.

Instructors will post CDC informational signs on all doors entering into the

building/classroom as well as throughout the buildings/labs.

5. How to wear face covering


ARRIVAL FOR CLASSESRAR

These guidelines cover all aspects related to ALL persons, the classroom, yard and truck in

which the students will learn. Students and instructors must be aware of, know, and exhibit

Fall Semester 2020



Student Services Division

Student Services. Student Services will continue to provide wrap around services that assist our

students in being successful. We will recruit, enroll, retain, and graduate students with an even

higher level of commitment so that our students reach completion. Services will be delivered in a

timely and student friendly manner and be laser focused on student success. In order to

accomplish this level of service, each office has developed detailed provisions that align with the

CACC Fall Reopening Plan and focus on health, safety, guidance, accessibility, and academic

support through concerned, friendly, and expedient services. CACC CARES about student

success!
