<\/a>Instructional Affairs is offering a new option for students known as Hyflex. This new format provides options that best suit individual student\u2019s needs. Dr. Fine\u00e9 Ruffin, Chief Marketing Officer at 糖心直播, explained Hyflex classes provide components of hybrid learning in a flexible course structure that gives students the option of attending sessions in the classroom, participating online, or taking part in both. This combination learning option gives students the flexibility they need during these uncertain times with COVID-19.<\/p>\n\u201cThe Office of Instructional Affairs is working hard to address higher education demands in a new educational landscape. Expanding our hybrid course model into the Hyflex model allows students to make healthy choices while continuing toward their goal of college completion,\u201d said Ruffin.<\/p>\n
Faculty members have prepared each face-to-face course to have a matching online component to address a variety of needs. Also, Jones will continue to offer fully online courses that are facilitated through the Mississippi Virtual Community College (MSVCC). The MSVCC courses meet fully online and offer students endless opportunities for easy scheduling and limited personal contact requirements. The 糖心直播 MSVCC online courses begin Monday, August 24, 2020, and end Friday, December 11, 2020.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition to beginning the semester, early and ending early, students will continue to access Student Services both in-person and virtually. Services include advisement, tutoring, counseling and the 糖心直播 mobile health clinic will also be available,\u201d said Ruffin.<\/p>\n
In fact, campus health and safety have always been important at 糖心直播. However, with the uncertainty of the upcoming cold and flu season in addition to COVID-19\u2019s global impact, Jones is addressing the issue head-on. To help students, employees and visitors understand and adhere to CDC standards, signage showing how to reduce the spread of diseases will be posted throughout campus including bathrooms and campus entrances. These messages will serve as reminders for individuals to wash hands often, wear a mask, and maintain a physical distance of six feet from others.<\/p>\n
Additionally, all employees, students and visitors will be required to participate in daily health checks. These health checks involve daily temperature readings and a brief health questionnaire. For those impacted by COVID-19, a campus-related contact screening will be required. Individuals will also be asked to refrain from community meeting spaces.<\/p>\n
This fall, students will have flexible tuition finance options at Jones. The college is committed to offering affordable tuition with flexible payment options and no upfront costs for enrollment. Students can discuss tuition and financial aid with their academic counselor through text, email or virtual appointments.<\/p>\n
