Bilingual report: Coconino County Health and Human Services participating in Arizona Testing Blitz on May 2

Coconino County Health and Human Services (CCHHS) is participating in the Arizona COVID-19 Testing Blitz on Saturday, May 2. This statewide initiative aims to test up to 60,000 Arizonans for COVID-19.

The CCHHS testing sites locations are:

• Fort Tuthill, 2446 Fort Tuthill Loop, Flagstaff, AZ 86005: 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.

• CCHHS, 2625 N. King Street, Flagstaff, AZ 86004: 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.

CCC faculty embracing technology for students

Zoom. FaceTime. YouTube. Online dashboards. Email.

It’s different from face-to-face teaching, but it gets the job done so students can keep chipping away at their educational goals during the time of the COVID-19 stay-at-home executive order issued by Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey.

Faculty at Coconino Community College spent their Spring Breaks this year working to figure out ways to reach their students in order to keep instruction on schedule.

Register now for Summer at CCC

Registration is Now Open for Summer Classes at Coconino Community College.

Summer instruction at CCC begins Monday, June 1, 2020.

Attending college is a great way to get ahead when the job market is uncertain.
To help our students move forward given the challenges with placement testing during the COVID-19 closures this spring, CCC is temporarily suspending placement requirements for summer 2020 only.
