Social Distancing Guidelines (Update 2/8/21): Kirkwood's virus protocols will remain unchanged following Governor Reynolds' recent easing of some COVID-19 restrictions.  Masks are still required on all Kirkwood campuses and social distancing guidelines will continue to be in place.  We encourage students to consider others as well as themselves and to take responsibility for their own health and safety amid the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic. Student protocols for a safe return to campus include:

• Staying home if you are feeling sick.
• Wearing a homemade or Kirkwood provided mask during class and in common spaces.
• Social distancing, which includes six feet of separation.
• Refraining from eating or drinking while in the classroom.

Is my Continuing Education class still meeting during the COVID-19 pandemic?
As we monitor the most recent Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) and CDC reports, we have decided to implement new updates to practice responsibility and limit the risk of COVID-19 to our students, staff, faculty, and community.

We encourage you to reach out to us at contactce@kirkwood.edu should you have any questions about your class or class schedules.

Can my employer pay for my classes?
We can bill a company or other agency for your continuing education charges.
