Tuesdays – 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Testing schedules at the Extension Sites will remain the same.

Students who are completing only online classes will not be required to test or provide proof of vaccination. Only Illinois higher education personnel and students who work or attend classes in person will be required to provide a negative COVID test or proof of vaccination.

During finals week, May 9-13, 2022

  • Students will not be required to test for COVID-19 or provide proof of full vaccination.

On April 29, 2022, the Governor extended the executive order mandating that all Illinois higher education personnel and students who work or attend classes in person demonstrate that they are fully vaccinated (as defined by CDC) or undergo weekly COVID testing. As such, College requirements related to vaccination and weekly testing will continue.

  • Students and employees may also provide results of a COVID-19 test taken off-site by submitting their test results to Health Services no later than 7 p.m. each Wednesday. The College requires PCR testing. Antibody and rapid tests are not allowed.

GENERAL OPERATIONS FAQs

What does the Governor’s Executive Order Vaccine/Testing Mandate mean for Lake Land College?

In accordance with Executive Order 2021-20, all Illinois higher education employees and students who work or attend classes in person must demonstrate that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or undergo weekly testing with documentation of a negative test until they are fully vaccinated. Individuals who have medical conditions or religious beliefs that preclude vaccination must test weekly. There is no exemption from testing unless individuals are fully vaccinated. Compliance will be monitored and individuals who are not in compliance as described herein will be excluded from campus.

Do I need to wear a mask while on campus?

Mask wearing is optional for all staff and students. All are welcome to wear a mask and are encouraged to consider related CDC recommendations.

What is required for sanitizing and personal hygiene?

In addition to routine cleaning and sanitizing conducted by the College, students and staff should regularly wipe down work spaces using sanitizing wipes provided throughout campus.

All individuals should also observe proper hygiene including:

Washing hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after public exposure, contact with “high touch” surfaces, after coughing or blowing your nose, and before and after preparing and eating food.

Coughing or sneezing into your elbow or tissue and immediately throwing the tissue into the trash.

Using available hand sanitizers.

Avoiding handshaking or any type of greeting involving touching.

What is the pandemic protocol for athletics?

Practice and competition is in accordance with Laker Athletics COVID Protocols posted on the Athletics Department website.

Are there any restrictions on off-campus employment, internships, or activities?

Students participating in off-site experiential learning are required to comply with the vaccination/testing requirements of the host site, as well as the Lake Land College protocols.
