To promote social distancing, we are offering our fall courses in four different formats.
To reduce the risk of exposure, we've enhanced cleaning procedures and added physical distancing measures.
To encourage limited in-person contact, we’ve moved many of our support services online.
After careful consideration, along with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Texas Department of State Health Services, the delivery format of courses has changed for the Fall 2020 semester. These changes help promote physical distancing and reduce contact among students, faculty, and staff.
| Course Format & Description | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Online These courses are taught entirely online and require no traditional face-to-face meetings. You will be able to access your course at online.brazosport.edu when the semester begins. | Students have the flexibility to work on the class material at anytime and anywhere while still meeting scheduled due dates for assignments and tests. Students can engage with the instructor and ask questions via email, Zoom, and online office hours. Students have the ability to work from the safety and convenience of their home. |
| Scheduled Live Online These courses meet through a real-time, two-way video connection between students and instructors. Students must log in at the designated class times. You will be able to access your course at online.brazosport.edu when the semester begins. | Students can participate live in class lectures and activities. Students have the opportunity to ask questions and receive immediate feedback during scheduled class time. Students have the ability to work from the safety and convenience of their own home. |
| Blended These courses meet both on campus and online. Course content is posted online by the instructor for the student to complete. You will be able to access the online portion of your course at online.brazosport.edu when the semester begins. | Offers students live interaction with instructors and peers during face-to-face lectures and activities. Students can access the instructor in class (during scheduled times) as well as through email and Zoom meetings. |
| Face-to-Face These courses meet on campus each week with physical distancing measures and other safety precautions in place. | This format features the most structured, and scheduled interaction with instructors. |
We will offer limited "Face-to-Face" and "Blended" courses this fall.
For Blended Courses: In order to reduce the number of students in a classroom at one time, students may rotate between receiving on campus and online instruction. This will allow all students in the class to experience both face-to-face and remote instruction.
For example, a course meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays could meet in this format, limiting face-to-face interaction:
| Tuesday | Thursday | |
|---|---|---|
| Group A (50% of students) | Face-to-Face on campus | Online instruction |
| Group B (50% of students) | Online instruction | Face-to-Face on campus |
Each course has a note attached indicating how the course will be delivered. Examples of what to expect on MyBC are shown below:
Online
Note on MyBC: "ONLINE WITHOUT SCHEDULED LIVE INTERACTION. YOU MAY ACCESS YOUR COURSE AT ONLINE.BRAZOSPORT.EDU WHEN THE SEMESTER BEGINS."

In an effort to slow the spread and reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19 (Coronavirus), we have implemented strong physical distancing and sanitation procedures across campus to protect the health of our students and staff.
Before entering a campus facility, you'll need to fill out the COVID-19 Health Screening questionnaire. The questionnaire has been designed to be quick and simple to fill out. You'll need to fill out the questionnaire each day you intend on visiting the Brazosport College campus.
Once completed, you will be shown either a green check mark with "APPROVED FOR ENTRY" if you've passed, or a red exclamation mark with "STAY HOME, STAY SAFE" if you failed, as well as your name, and the date you completed the questionnaire.
You can learn more about what it means to pass or fail by visiting the Approved for Entry page or Stay Home, Stay Safe page, respectively.
Anyone that does not pass the COVID-19 Health Screening questionnaire will not be allowed entry.
Face masks or facial coverings are required for all students, employees, and visitors (ages 10 and up) any time on campus.
Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance. The cloth face coverings recommended are not surgical masks or N-95 respirators. To review different templates and methods of how to make masks at home, download the CDC’s DIY Face Covering Instructions.
Exceptions: If you are walking, running, or biking on the trails; if you are in your vehicle; if you are alone in your office with the door closed; if you are a welding student actively welding and wearing a welding face shield; and, if you are an instructor lecturing students, you may wear a face shield instead of a face mask in addition to maintaining 6ft. of distance. Otherwise, all individuals, students, faculty, staff, grounds keepers and contractors are to wear a face covering/mask.
If you arrive on campus without completing the Health Screening questionnaire, you can complete it using your smartphone.
If you do not have access to a computer or smartphone, computer stations are available at Human Resources located in the C-Wing lobby as well as in the Library located in the center of campus. Other computer locations may be listed in future updates.
These procedures are subject to change, so it's vital that you check your Brazosport College email for updates before heading to campus.
