The Northeast Texas Community College Work4College program is back in action for summer 2020. Starting June 8, a total of 79 students began participating in the unique 10-week program.   From manning the campus wellness check-in station to painting dorm rooms and working on the farm, these students are providing essential services to the campus – all while earning money and saving for college!

Northeast Texas Community College will offer on-campus classes for the Fall 2020 semester. The College is currently working to implement a plan that will allow for traditional face-to-face learning opportunities while still practicing social distancing and other measures to prevent the spread of Coronavirus. We will announce full details when they become available. Additionally, NTCC will continue to offer a full slate of online courses for those who prefer learning in that environment.

Alpha Mu Chi, Northeast Texas Community College's chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, recently held it's first-ever virtual induction ceremony since they were unable to hold their regular spring induction due to COVID-19.

I am pleased to announce that Northeast Texas Community College will begin a limited reopening of our main campus this summer to students and visitors who need more personal access to essential services beginning Monday, June 1, 2020! Although we wish we could open more fully at this time, in order to comply with Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s recent GA-18 and GA-23 directives on building occupancy limits, campus visits will be by appointment only until further notice. You can click here for a directory of available services and departments to call or e-mail to schedule a convenient time for your visit.  

At Northeast Texas Community College this last spring, many students without a laptop, or audio-cam felt stranded. But there were also cases of students who not only performed above and beyond the expected norm, they completed assignments that were exemplary.  For the first time in the history of NTCC, three students outside of the honors program completed article-length essays of over 3,000 words, earned honors credit in addition to their regular grade, and placed within the top-twelve places of the annual poster contest.

The Eagle newspaper staff has been working to produce one last issue of the Spring 2020 semester. While we could not print the paper due to Covid-19, we have produced a digital PDF version of The Eagle. 

The Northeast Texas Community College Continuing Education Department will offer its 2020 Kids Discovery College this summer in a virtual format July 6-16. Kids ages 8-16 are invited to participate. 

NTCC offices will be closed on Monday, May 25 in observance of the Memorial Day holiday. We hope everyone enjoys a relaxing and safe long weekend as we remember military personnel who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. 

The challenges of COVID-19 prohibited the art department from exhibiting our annual Spring 2020 Student Art Show in the Whatley Center foyer, so the art department instructors created an online version. We hope you enjoy it and share it with friends and family.
