Important Reminders

Though daily COVID-19 case numbers remain high, extensive safety protocols are in place at all College locations. Additionally, 230 bipolar ionization filters were recently installed across the College, covering classrooms, offices and general gathering areas. These systems remove 99.4% of all COVID-related viruses from the air.

The College will continue to monitor the number of COVID-19 exposures and cases, adjusting these plans if necessary.

We need everyone’s help to keep our community safe by continuing to follow safety protocols:

Perform a daily health assessment before coming to any campus or facility, and review and electronically sign the COVID-19 Statement of Personal Responsibility once per semester
Wear a mask properly when required
Maintain appropriate physical distance as directed by current College guidance
Wash your hands frequently, for 20 seconds
Celebrate small
Don’t eat or drink with anyone outside your household
Limit travel
If you’ve been exposed to the virus and have not been vaccinated, you must isolate at home for 14 days. Do not come to the College. Notify Risk Management for specific instructions or questions.
