Galveston College issued the following announcement on May 18.

The May 2020 mini-semester began Monday, May 18, at Galveston College. Signs directed the technical and professional students who were on campus for hands-on instruction to the Mary Moody Northen Center east entrance on the main campus and the Building 3 entrance at the Charlie Thomas Family Applied Technology Center, where they were screened for COVID-19 symptoms and temperature.

All May mini-semester and summer classes are online, with the exception of certain technical courses and programs that require hands-on instruction that cannot be delivered online but can be delivered face to face in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.
