Terra State's Smart Start Playbook

Due to recent Center for Disease Control (CDC) guidance for fully vaccinated people and Governor DeWine’s decisions to rescind most of the COVID-19 orders of the Ohio Department of Health and to end the COVID-19 Emergency Declaration for the state, Terra State Community College is incorporating several changes into the Fall 2021 Smart Start Playbook.

*Details in the playbook are subject to change based on CDC releases.
