Reopening

What's New for Fall 2022?

As of Sept. 6, 2022 the College will replace COVID response protocols with the following:

Effective September 6, 2022, masks are optional for all faculty, staff, students and visitors outside and inside campus buildings, with the exception of the following classes:

• Classes/Clinics in off campus healthcare and forensic settings will follow facility protocols (currently masks are required).
• Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC) courses.

College employees and visitors may continue wearing masks if they choose even if others around them are not wearing masks. Please be respectful to those who choose to wear a mask.

Faculty and staff may request, but not require, that masks be worn in classrooms and/or in personal office spaces, except for the classes listed above. Faculty and staff requesting the use of masks in their classroom/campus office space may not retaliate or take disciplinary action against a student or other individual who chooses not to wear a mask.

Faculty teaching a class that requires a mask should send an email message to students at least two (2) weeks prior to the start of the class to inform them that masks are required. In courses where masks are optional, faculty may invite students to wear masks out of caution while in the classroom. Masks will be provided by the College and available at classroom entrances for anyone who chooses.

Faculty who plan to invite/request students to wear masks while in the classroom must provide notice to students through an email at least two (2) weeks prior to the start of the class.
