Students required to test due to programmatic or clinical requirements must still follow the appropriate guidelines for their clinical experience.
We continue to encourage students and employees to vaccinate against COVID-19 and test when experiencing symptoms.
On July 12, 2022, Governor Pritzker issued Executive Order 2022-16, which rescinded the requirement that higher education employees and students be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or submit to weekly testing in order to access the university/college premises.
MANDATORY WEEKLY TESTING concluded July 13, 2022 for all students and employees who did not submit documentation of full vaccination.
SELF-SCREEN for symptoms on a daily basis and do not come to campus if you are feeling ill. Contact your medical provider or a local Health Department for guidance when feeling ill.
Effective July 13, 2022, students and staff do not have to submit documentation of vaccination in the Laker Hub.
SELF-SCREEN for symptoms on a daily basis and do not come to campus if you are feeling ill.
Visitors, including prospective students and parents, spectators, test takers and members of the community are not required to test or provide proof of vaccination.
Mask wearing is optional for all staff and students. All are welcome to wear a mask and are encouraged to consider related CDC recommendations.
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.
