Neosho County Community College Response to Coronavirus (COVID-19) Situation
Official Statement from NCCC President, Dr. Brian Inbody
Neosho County Community College intends to open for face-to-face and hybrid classes for the fall semester but do so in a manner that respects national, state, and local experts with safety of all our constituents as our top priority. Today the College released a framework for reopening the college that mirrors the Kansas phased plan reopening of the state, Ad Astra. As the State of Kansas and counties move through the various phases, NCCC will respond in turn. As the College has facilities in various counties, and as counties retain the ability to set their own phase level depending on the situation, it is possible that different campuses and centers within NCCC might be at different phases depending on location.
The NCCC COVID-19 Response Phase Plan has five levels, from level 0 that corresponds to Governor’s “Stay at Home” order, to levels 1-4 that synchronize with the Ad Astra plan. The levels provide a framework for many areas including instruction, housing, employee workspace, community groups, building access, venders on campus, and college travel. While the college currently intends to return to athletic competition in the fall at this time, the NCCC framework for athletics will be announced sometime after the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) and the Kansas Junior Community College Conference (KJCCC) release their guidance to colleges, currently scheduled for mid-June.
For all phase levels the College has developed Standard Safety Protocols which includes frequent disinfecting campus spaces, following social distancing guidelines, recommending masks, utilizing county resources for testing/contact tracing, and physical changes to buildings. The physical changes to buildings include clear barriers in reception areas, numerous hand sanitizing stations, social distance reminders, and positional directions for those in line.
As the state and counties declare various phases, the NCCC Core Emergency Response Team (CERT) will declare our corresponding level along with the date and time that that level will be enacted. The CERT members do have the ability to set a different level based on data from individual campuses or centers. Students, employees and the community will be informed of the phase level change through email and social media.
In all levels students will be able to communicate with the college remotely for services such as advising, financial aid, and tutoring. Contact information for various services can be found in the links below.

Students and employees are asked to continue to pay attention to email and notifications for updates.
