Bucks County Community Community plans to remain largely virtual for the spring semester.
On Thursday, the community college, which has campuses in Bristol Township, Newtown Township, and East Rockhill Township, announced “most courses in the spring semester will remain online and remote, and students can come to campus only for courses that have a required hands-on component.”

The plan the community college will use is the same in place for the fall semester amid the pandemic.
Students with some health sciences, chemistry, culinary arts, kinesiology, workforce training, public safety training, and music and arts classes will be allowed to access the campus for hands-on learning. After the class is over, students are directly to leave.
The community college said in a statement that the decision was made with collaboration with faculty and staff. The team that moved forward with the decision was led by Provost Lisa Angelo.

“We did not make any of these decisions lightly, and our first priority is ensuring that our Bucks community stays safe and healthy,” Dr. Stephanie Shanblatt, the community college president, wrote in an email to students.
