Attn CASC Concurrent enrollment students:
“After careful review of the available information, and after consulting with our higher education peers, we have made the decision to transition to distance learning (online, virtual, etc) beginning the Monday after Spring Break for a two-week trial period, after which the situation will be re-evaluated. The health and well-being of our Carl Albert students, staff, and faculty remains our priority. Your campus leadership continues to closely monitor the evolution and spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The situation continues to evolve nearly daily, so we remain in close communication with the local and state departments of health, our resources at the Office of the State Regents for Higher Education, and fellow higher education peers.” - Update from CASC Full press release can be viewed here: https://okwnews.com/news/whatzup/updated-carl-albert-state-college-covid-19-press-release.
