We know that many of you are anxiously awaiting news about how things will look this fall at Northeast Texas Community College. We are pleased to report that NTCC plans to resume face-to-face classes for the fall 2020 semester. We will do so with the health and safety of our campus community as the top priority. As we all know, the COVID-19 situation is rapidly changing and we remain prepared to adapt as necessary to provide personal, dynamic learning experiences empowering students to succeed. Below, you will find a summary of some of the significant decisions we have made for the fall:

Jim and Paula Archer in March of 2009.
