My classes are mostly on their feet and functioning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The faculty and staff insist that students would still receive the proper education that they had already paid for. To further validate the claim, SJCC held learning sessions for all staff who were having troubles with Zoom.<\/p>\n<aside>\n    <div class='related sno-6a348f2b12421 relatedvert right sno-animate'>\n        <h5>Related Stories<\/h5>\n                                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/sjcctimes.com\/es\/13794\/news\/state-chancellors-office-suspends-tuition-refund-regulations-during-covid-19-state-of-emergency\/\" title=\"State Chancellor\u2019s office suspends tuition refund regulations during COVID-19 state of emergency\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sjcctimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/EmptyClassroom-475x316.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" class=\"catboxphoto\" alt=\"San Jose City College moved all in-person classes to an online format March 16.
