We will continue to provide high-quality instruction and support to our students, no matter the method of delivery.”
Cape Fear Community College’s North Campus Open House event scheduled for Wednesday, March 18, 2020, is being postponed as a precautionary measure due to COVID-19. The event will be rescheduled, and an announcement will be made at that time.
