MSC Southeast BACK TO CAMPUS plans are taking shape for Fall 2021

Having safely delivered education on campus in Red Wing and Winona throughout the 20-21 academic year, plans are underway to fully open the college in Fall 2021.

MSC Southeast will be ready to meet the needs and expectations of students by offering face-to-face classes as well a full complement of campus activities. 

• Classes that were offered on campus prior to the pandemic will be back on campus, including liberal arts and sciences. 
• Classes that were previously delivered via distance learning technologies will continue to be online.
• Where applicable, online programming and services may be made available to students who cannot readily access campus.  

Most staff members will be working on campus full-time by July 15, 2021.

The safety of students and employees remains the college's top priority. The college will continue to follow CDC and Minnesota Department of Health guidelines. We will be prepared to adapt our plans if the situation changes.
