We are all feeling the stress of difficult circumstances. Students may feel extra pressures and strains. In response, CCC has created a Care Team to ensure we are doing all we can to ease students’ stress about their courses. Each of our students is assigned to a Care Team member who will contact the student each week. Our goal is to make sure our students have as much support as possible, whether it is help with classwork or resources available for your family. Our students and their success remain our top priority at CCC.
