TRAVERSE CITY — As expected, the state is beginning to ease COVID-19 restrictions thanks to increasing numbers of residents receiving the vaccine. NMC is also re-evaluating and updating our COVID-19 protocols as outlined in the staged reopening plan<\/a>. Following the new state timeline, the college will move to Stage 3<\/a> of our reopening plan May 24, 2021. We will continue to communicate updates with you as they are finalized.<\/p>\n

Summer scheduled classes will continue as planned and work that can be done remotely, may continue to be done remotely. In Stage 3<\/a>, employees who have been working from home, who prefer to work on-campus will be able to do so and small, in-person meetings will also be allowed. Protocols for masks and social distancing still remain.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your commitment to safety throughout this past year, and into the future. Thank you also for your continued support and patience during this time as we have successfully faced many unknowns together. You can find more information about NMC’s response to the coronavirus and resources at nmc.edu\/covid-19<\/a>.<\/p>\n
