With guidance from state and local public health orders, CMC has developed the “CMC Trail Map.” The COVID-19-ready plan keeps our students, employees, and beloved mountain communities as safe as possible while still offering flexible, in-person and virtual course options.
Types of Courses
CMC currently offers three categories of courses: Flex, Online Anytime, and In-Person.

Flex
These courses will have designated class schedule times conducted using videoconferencing technology like Webex/Zoom. Flex courses may also have optional face-to-face components.
Online Anytime
These courses will not require in-person attendance and will not have a designated schedule or videoconferencing time. Students must complete the coursework in the time frame outlined in the syllabus.
In-Person
These courses cannot be delivered remotely, and will be offered face-to-face adhering to enhanced social distancing and safety guidelines. In-Person courses may also have parts of the course using Webex/Zoom.
Spring 2021 Update
The spring 2021 semester begins January 18, 2021. CMC has programmed 70% of courses for the spring semester to be either in the Online Anytime or Flex format, with 30% of courses In Person. Flex courses will begin coursework remotely.
Optional in-person sessions for these Flex classes may be scheduled once students and faculty have had a chance to consider the composition of students in the classroom.
