COVID-19/Coronavirus Preparedness Update

The news related to Coronavirus (COVID-19) is evolving sometimes by the hour. To ensure that Cypress College is prepared, the campus has formed a taskforce to address all related issues. For starters, the college is engaged in dialog with faculty leadership about practices related to absences and late work. As you may know, each of these are established by individual instructors to meet the specific needs of each course and program.

In addition, cleaning practices have been expanded for all high-touch surfaces. You may see members of our crew wearing gloves and masks as they perform these routine cleanings. This is done out of an abundance of caution for safety. If you are sick, please stay home and reach out to your faculty to discuss your absence. We will continue to keep you informed.

Are you looking for work? Cypress College Career Connect is the college's online internship and job database providing access to current internship and job postings, resume-building tools, and other valuable resources to assist you in obtaining employment. A link to CC Career Connect is available near the bottom of every issue of @Cypress.

The Library on the 2nd floor of the L/LRC offers a number of services to assist students with their studies. Need help with research for a class? Stop by the Reference Desk for some help from a librarian with finding resources or accessing databases. The library also provides book loans, laptop rentals, group study rooms, and printing and photocopying.
