Reminders:

If you test positive for COVID-19, contact Kristin Lowe, executive director, Human Resources and Organizational Development, at 292-2048 or klowe5@monroecc.edu.  

If you feel ill or are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms (e.g., fever, cough, chills, etc.), please contact your health care provider or urgent care. Do not come to MCC. Do not contact MCC Health Services as responding to student health needs is their No. 1 priority.

If you have not verified vaccination and you plan to come to campus—frequently or infrequently—for any reason, you must test each week for COVID-19.

If a student notifies you that they tested positive for COVID-19 or have been instructed to quarantine (i.e., have been potentially exposed to the virus), direct them to immediately contact MCC Health Services at 292-2018 or healthsvc@monroec.edu and the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities studentrights@monroecc.edu to confirm next steps.
