Students going to Confederation College will have a one week interruption to all classes and labs, at all campuses, due to COVID-19.
The school tells us starting Monday, the 16th, classes and labs will be suspended as the college switches all learning to on-line.
It’ll take one week for teachers and instructors to make the transition, with on-line classes starting Monday, the 23rd. The school will provide an update on Thursday.
Officials add this includes apprenticeship, dual-credit and contract training courses. However, all work and clinical placement will continue where possible, and students should follow the direction of the organizations they attend for further instruction.
