Dear Students, Faculty, Staff, and Brookes Bible College Family,
 
Most of you are aware that as of yesterday (3/15), St. Louis County is strongly advising that all schools close for the next eight weeks beginning this Wednesday, March 18. We deeply regret that this has become necessary to minimize the spread of this coronavirus. I want you to know that Brookes Bible College is going to be complying with this recommendation with one small exception. Because we have so few students on campus on Thursdays, we are going to have classes on Thursday, March 19th, but that will be the last day of classes at the college until the end of the semester.
 
Below is our emergency response plan. You will be receiving further updates over the next few days.

1. No classes will be held at Brookes for the rest of the semester after this Thursday, March 19
2. Students will complete their course work through online or distance-learning. Each student will receive detailed information from instructors in the next few days about how to complete this semester’s courses.
3. The SGA Trivia Night is cancelled.
4. The Expository Preaching Conference will be rescheduled for the Fall of 2020.
5. The College will remain open for student advising appointments, library services, and employees will report to work on their normal schedules until further notice.
6. Office hours will be 8:30 AM-3:00 PM. If students need access to the building outside of those hours it can be made available by appointment.
7. Chapels this week will become town hall meetings designed to prepare students for this transition.
8. May Graduation will be rescheduled for December 5, 2020
9. As of today, we are hoping that Summer School will start on schedule with on campus classes.
