While approximately 75 percent of spring course offerings will be available as full in-person or in a hybrid format that includes partial in-person instruction, remaining sections will be offered in a traditional online format or as virtual class meetings.

Students in hybrid courses visit the campus for lectures, labs, studios or clinical work, with additional required learning online. Online courses, meanwhile, are internet-based, conducted off-campus and adhere to instructor timelines and designated learning outcomes. Students interact with each other primarily through discussion boards and written messages.

Virtual class meetings allow students to interact with faculty and peers in a live remote format. These classes take place completely online at specified days and times using video chat software.

Student service offices are open for in-person appointments and food service also will be available on campus.

As the college continues to prioritize the safety and health of students, those visiting campus are required to wear masks in all COD buildings. Additionally, in adhering to the Illinois Governor's Executive Order, students taking in-person or hybrid classes must verify their vaccination status or submit to weekly COVID-19 testing.

"Maintaining the health and safety of our students, faculty and staff remains a key focus," said COD President Dr. Brian Caputo. "Delivering the curriculum and educational resources our students expect is important and we must continue to do so in a safe environment."

The spring 2022 semester includes a 16-, 12- and two eight-week sessions.
