Chattanooga-area colleges are seeing continued interest in online classes for the fall 2021 semester, despite some classrooms reopening by the end of the last academic year and requirements for masks and distancing falling away as the COVID-19 pandemic wanes. The Tennessee Board of Regents has suspended online course fees for community colleges for the 2021-22 year, and colleges anticipate online courses to continue growing in demand, according to a June report by the Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury. As of Thursday, Cleveland State Community College's enrollment for the fall semester includes 54% of students taking courses in person and 46% of students enrolled in online courses, said Barsha Pickell, vice president for academic affairs.
