CCSNH Colleges And Programs

COVID-19 Update



Update from the Community College System of New Hampshire
March 18, 2020

In response to the escalating public health situation, New Hampshire’s community colleges will extend the online learning format through the end of the Spring semester (May 9, 2020). 

The community colleges already make extensive use of online course instruction and content.  Students will benefit from rich content and faculty committed to their success.  In accordance with local needs and circumstances, the colleges may use a variety of modes to deliver clinical and certain types of lab-based instruction.  Course and program information will be communicated to students by their college faculty or program Department Head. Students are asked to check Canvas (CCSNH’s learning management system) as well as their college email frequently for this information.


CCSNH employees should reach out to their college leadership team or system office leadership team with questions and concerns, mindful that we are in a rapidly evolving situation.  Our first priority must be the health and well-being of our employees, their families and loved ones, and public health across the communities we serve.

Please direct CCSNH-related concerns and questions to the below college contacts.  General concerns and questions should be directed to the State of NH’s 211NH line by dialing 2-1-1 from your phone.*   Note:  Information about spring semester classes and any changes in course delivery will be communicated on Canvas and/or by email by course instructors.  Please do not contact the 211NH line or college contacts below for course information.
