Community College of Philadelphia

Good afternoon,

In response to the ongoing public health issues surrounding COVID-19, and to do our part in preventing its spread, Community College of Philadelphia will be closed and ALL classes (online, credit and non-credit) will be suspended between March 14, 2020 and March 28, 2020.

Please note: students will continue to be able to register for courses, request assistance and make payments online while the college is closed and beyond.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all Americans take safety precautions and continue to monitor news of the coronavirus outbreak, which causes a respiratory illness known as COVID-19.

Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that cause diseases in humans and other mammals, birds, bats and reptiles. In humans, they cause upper respiratory infection symptoms such as fever, cough, stuffy nose and shortness of breath. Symptoms can range from mild to severe. Many mild cases can be treated with rest and over-the-counter medication. In the more severe cases, breathing difficulties may occur and medical intervention should be sought.

Epidemiology experts have said the best form of preparedness is to remain calm and take the same steps taken to avoid the flu and common cold.
