COVID-19
Given the global pandemic impact of the COVID-19, every college and university is now in a place where face-to-face classes must be transitioned to distance learning until further notice.
The Impact on Summer 2020
✓ PGCPS has waived the two course requirement pre- requisite for students to enroll in a distance learning course. ✓ All dual enrollment participants are limited to a maximum of two distance learning courses for the summer term.
Summer Format
✓ Classes are offered as 5, 8, and 10 week sessions
Remote/Virtual
➢ Synchronous (in sync) ➢ There are formal (remote) meeting times listed for the course ➢ Students log in during set meeting times ➢ There are live discussions and group/class participation
Traditional Online Learning
➢ Asynchronous (at your leisure) ➢ There are no formal meeting times ➢ Students log in and complete work and assignments at their convenience (yet by the syllabus due dates)
Prince George’s Community College will offer two distance formats:
5 Locations for Classes
▪ Largo, Main Campus ▪ University Town Center (UTC), Hyattsville ▪ Joint Base Andrews (JBA), Clinton ▪ Laurel College Center (LCC), Laurel ▪ Oxon Hill High School Hub School (OHHS), Oxon Hill ▪ Select PGCPS high schools, starting Fall 2019!

cumulative GPA
In the event Fall courses need to be converted to distance learning, we will work with students as needed.
