In a release, BC3 announced it has also canceled remote and online credit classes as it restores databases, hard drives, servers and other devices affected by the attack.
Noncredit courses are canceled as well for Nov. 29 and Nov. 30 and the college will not provide services on its main campus or at its additional locations on those days.
In-person fall credit courses had previously been scheduled to be held in a remote format for the week of Nov 29.
