Post-Winter Break Reminders

Dear Students,


Welcome back! We hope you enjoyed your Winter Break.

As we shared over the weekend, we have updated our COVID-19 protocols for the duration of the Omicron wave. We have worked hard to prepare the campus for you to have an in-person J-Block. Now we need your help.

If you have symptoms   

  • If you aren’t feeling well, please do NOT go to class this morning. Stay home and away from others.
  • Schedule a COVID-19 test at the Student Health Center if you are feeling ill or experiencing COVID or flu-like symptoms.
  • Call the Student Health Center  8 a.m.-6 p.m. for same-day symptomatic testing. No appointment with a provider is required.
  • If you receive a positive test result, the COVID-19 Coordinator, (719) 413-9588, will contact you.
 COVID-19 Screening Testing  
  • All students must take a COVID-19 test before J-Block, Half Block, or Block 5, based on their   
  • All students, regardless of vaccination status, must test twice weekly via eMed through Block 5. This also includes those who have previously received positive COVID-19 test results.
  • All students will receive test kits, three KN95 masks, and an isolation kit. The isolation kit includes one N95 mask (to be used only during isolation), and isolation instructions to keep with your isolation bag. We will follow up with details on isolation protocols, based on recommendations from El Paso County Public Health, as soon as they become available.
  • Residents of Loomis, Mathias, and South halls may pick up their test kits, masks, and isolation kit at their residence hall front desks.
  • All other studentsmay pick up their test kits, masks, and isolation kit at the Worner Desk or Tutt Library. 
  • Please bring and swipe your Gold Card to pick up your test kits, masks, and isolation kit.  
COVID-19 Booster
  • As of Jan. 3, a COVID-19 booster dose is required for all students who are eligible.
    • If you’ve received your booster, load your vaccination documentation to this portal today by following these portal instructions.
    • If not yet eligible, you don’t have to do anything at this time. You MUST receive your booster as soon as you’re eligible and upload your documentation then.
    • We will share information about an on-campus booster clinic soon.
Please take a moment to review the COVID-19 risk mitigation protocols that all CC community members are expected to follow. If you have questions, please contact covid19@coloradocollege.edu.

We look forward to seeing you on campus!

Sincerely,
