INDIANAPOLIS – Ivy Tech Community College has announced that it will offer its fall semester courses starting in August in-person across its statewide campuses, based on the current trends with the coronavirus throughout Indiana. It will also continue to provide students with multiple course options such as online and flexible delivery modes, including Learn Anywhere, a course delivery method the College further expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The state’s community college is slowly starting to increase the number of in-person courses, as classes begin later this month and then again in June. By August, it is anticipated that all students who want to be on campus, will be able to. The focus will continue to be on safety for students, employees, and the communities Ivy Tech serves. Should new guidelines from the governor or federal regulations be released, adjustments will be made accordingly. At this time, facial coverings and physical distancing will continue to be required.
