All campuses of Suffolk County Community College remain closed to all students and

SUNY Suffolk will be open for the fall semester. Classes begin September 2nd with
remote learning and limited face-to-face course experiences.
To support New York State Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s plan to reopen the state in a
careful and thoughtful manner, SUNY established a COVID-19 Resume and Restart Task
Force that is working collaboratively with the Governor’s Office, the New York State
Department of Health (DOH), as well as local and state elected officials. In recognition
of our own need for institutional preparation, the College also formed a Task Force,
which has been linked to the SUNY effort in order to align the reopening process with
the system-wide effort.
Long Island has entered Phase 4 of the New York State re-opening plan, which specifically
permits institutions of higher education to operate. The College’s Interim President
Louis Petrizzo has announced that the College will officially begin the reopening
of campus offices, starting on Monday, July 27th. We will start by gradually welcoming
back those employees who generally work on-campus during the summer months, beginning
with weekly staggered schedules that will effectively provide in-person coverage across
College and campus offices.
