As we enter this new phase of orders and restrictions being lifted, the health and safety of our students, faculty, staff, and their families continue to be our focus and concern.  The College will continue to monitor all guidelines and recommendations provided by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), Texas Department of State Health Services, and the Hidalgo and Starr County Health Departments and adjust safety protocols as required.

We continue to ask for your participation in adhering to the Campus Safety Protocols, and for utilization of your judgment on those parameters that require your discretion.  As we begin to gain some normalcy back to our lives, let us continue to work together to protect the health and well-being of our South Texas College family and communities.
