Welcome to Block 4! We hope you enjoyed a restful Fall Break.
Please take a moment to review the COVID-19 risk mitigation protocols that all CC community members are expected to follow. Indoor masking remains in place on campus as COVID-19 transmission levels continue to be high in El Paso County. You can look up the community transmission level county by county here to inform your off-campus masking practices. We strongly recommend following CDC guidance to mask indoors when transmission levels are substantial or high.
As you return to campus for the final block of 2021, please remember that all students (except for those who have received a positive COVID-19 test result in the 90 days prior) are required to take a COVID-19 test at the beginning of Block 4.
If you have symptoms today such as cough, fever, sore throat, headache etc., please do NOT go to class. Stay away from others, and call the Student Health Center, (719) 389-6384, to make an appointment at your earliest convenience.
COVID-19 asymptomatic screening testing is now administered by eMed, a telehealth provider. You should have received an email from covid19@coloradocollege.edu prompting you to pick up a BinaxNow test kit.
For this initial testing after Fall Break only, students residing in Mathias, South, and Loomis Halls should pick up their test kit at their hall’s front desk beginning TODAY, Nov. 29, during desk hours.
Students residing in other residence halls on campus or off-campus should pick up their BinaxNow test kits at the Tutt Library circulation desk beginning TODAY, Nov. 29, at 8 a.m. You must bring and swipe your Gold Card to pick up a test kit.
As a reminder, please follow the instructions provided with each test kit and take the test by Tuesday, Nov. 30, at 5 p.m. Do not open your test kit until prompted to do so during the telehealth session with eMed.
In order to participate in the testing program, you must download the Navica app, create an account, and enter the Connect Code to connect your account to Colorado College. If you didn’t receive the email invitation to download the app (sent Nov. 16), check your junk email folder; contact us at covid19@coloradocollege.edu if needed.
It’s important to follow these instructions because we will not receive test results until after you have connected your account to Colorado College and your test results won’t count toward the testing requirement, resulting in your key card access to campus being turned off.
