COVID-19 has exploded over the past four months.
  Because of it, many campuses have shut down and moved their classes online, but what about their other services. Students who depend on these services can no longer access them face to face. Â
Cuesta College has made several programs available online, and some limited programs on campus

Though classes are off-site and much of the campus is closed, the Cuesta College Library is open, contrary to what google says. Computers are still available to use in the library for students who don’t have access to them at home. The library also has Chromebooks to rent. Â
