COC Covid-19 Updates for the Week of 4/17
Thank you to Mr. Harnish, COC Vice President, Public Information, Advocacy & External Relations, who keeps us informed of all Covid-19 information related to testing and vaccines. The message below is taken directly from a communication sent to COC students and staff.
This information was presented and shared with the "Board of Trustees at their April 13 meeting. The following changes were made to policies for students, employees, and visitors coming to either campus:
- Effective immediately, visitors to events/meetings and University Center partner programs on campus will no longer need to show proof of vaccination or provide a recent negative test prior to accessing indoor campus locations.
- Effective June 3, 2022, students, employees, volunteers, and visitors will no longer be required to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test before coming to campus.
As a reminder, employees, students, and visitors must wear face masks in indoor instructional spaces being used for COC courses and student services spaces. Limited exceptions include athletic team practices and competitions and student rehearsals and public performances.
The District continues to strongly encourage all students, employees, volunteers, and visitors to receive COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters, and wear masks in all indoor locations on campus.
From now through June 2, students and employees should continue to upload their vaccination and booster information through the District’s secure online system. Visitors who come to instructional or student services spaces must continue to provide vaccine or test information by first checking in at the Canyons Hall Welcome Desk or University Center at the Valencia Campus, or Quad 1-B at the Canyon Country Campus.
We know that COVID-19 has proven to be unpredictable, and the number of cases can quickly increase. If the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reinstates vaccinations or asymptomatic weekly testing requirements for institutes of higher education in the future, the District will follow those requirements.
Thank you to Mr. Harnish for keeping us well informed of all Covid-19 policies and updates!
