COVID-19 Response Updates

The college has shifted its approach to managing respiratory viruses, including COVID-19, to focus on individual responsibility for health. If you have symptoms of a respiratory virus, you are expected to stay home. You can return to normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both your symptoms are improving overall and you have been fever-free without the use of fever-reducing medication. After returning, the college recommends taking additional precautions for the next five days, such as wearing a mask and practicing physical distancing.

Employees should notify their supervisor of their illness as they typically would and use a sick day if available. Students should notify their instructor(s) and work with them to complete assignments as needed.

Remember to wash your hands frequently with soap and water. Staying home when you feel sick and staying up to date with vaccines, including the annual flu shot, COVID-19 vaccine, and RSV vaccine, are the best ways to protect yourself and others.
