Safety measures are in place to ensure both student and staff safety while on campus to include: masks covering both nose and mouth while on campus, removable plastic coverings over all keyboards and mice, social distancing enforced, cleaning and sanitizing of the labs daily, and sanitizer and handwashing available for students and staff.

We are also pleased to offer online technology support assistance to all Pierce College students. A friendly STAT member is available to help answer technology-related questions online using Canvas and Zoom.
