Faculty & Staff

All NLTCC campuses will be closed on Monday, March 16th, and Tuesday March 17th.
The College will open on Wednesday, March 18th with the return of faculty and staff under a Restricted Visitor Policy.
Students will extend their Spring Break through next week and return to their home campus on Monday, March 23, 2020.

Throughout the coming week, NLTCC faculty and staff will pivot toward Integrated Technical Training (ITT). ITT is a learning model that combines online digital content with the traditional hands-on training that is the hallmark of NLTCC. We are confident this approach will aid in meeting the guidelines given for protecting our college community and providing the learning experience needed to further prepare students for employment.

All students will return to their local NLTCC campus on Monday (3/23) and Tuesday (3/24) to receive course information, altered schedules and financial aid verification. Additional instructions will be forthcoming to ensure students know where and when to arrive on those days. Thereafter, students will engage with digital content online to limit in-person contact for a period of at least 3 weeks before returning to the campus for hands-on training. The return date for hands-on training is contingent upon guidelines provided in this rapidly changing Covid 19 situation. In the event that the limitations on personal contact continues beyond the 3 weeks scheduled, NLTCC is prepared for extensions. Nursing students and others who are in clinical and work based learning experiences will be provided revised schedules and may engage in alternative learning experiences through simulation.

While there are no known (COVID-19) cases at NLTCC at this time, we plan to take every precaution to ensure the continued safety of our faculty, staff and students. To that end, we are implementing new policies, practices, and procedures for this unprecedented situation. These procedures include faculty and staff providing additional disinfection and sanitization of classrooms, equipment and tools to ensure a safe work environment. This also includes social spacing and student capacity limitations in computer labs and other instructional spaces. A limited schedule for computer lab usage will be forthcoming.

At NLTCC, we are committed to excellence and we serve those who are committed to achieving a better way of life. We have a history of transforming lives and shaping the workforce in Northwest Louisiana. During this critical time, we remain steadfast in our commitment to students and their success. We ask for your patience and cooperation as we pivot to design the most effective learning experience possible given the unprecedented challenge at hand. Together, we will cross the finish line. – #Equipped, Inspired and Ready to Work!

Thank you and be safe!
