Welcome to the 2024-2025 academic year! We are excited to see students, faculty, and staff back on campus. As we gather, we’d like to highlight updated recommendations for staying healthy heading into the fall season. The health and wellness of our campus community is our top priority. CC uses a public health framework for disease prevention and response informed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Recommended guidelines for managing respiratory infections (COVID-19, influenza, and RSV) include staying up to date with COVID-19 and influenza vaccines, practicing good hygiene, and following cleaner air strategies.

If you have symptoms of a respiratory infection (cough, nasal congestion, runny nose, fever, etc.) we recommend you take the following steps to prevent the spread of illness:

COVID-19 and influenza testing is available at the Student Health Center during the academic year. At home rapid COVID tests are available for purchase at area stores or online. If your symptoms are worsening, please contact our Student Health Center at (719) 389-6384 for an appointment with a provider.

CC provides seasonal flu vaccines to students, faculty, and staff starting in late September to early October and N95/KN95 masks are available free of cost at the Wellness Resource Center, located in Yalich Student Services Center. Further updates on availability of the COVID-19 vaccine will be shared on our Student Health Center website.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions by emailing us at wellness@coloradocollege.edu or calling the Student Health Center at (719) 389-6384.

We wish you all a healthy school year.
