Health and Safety Guidance
To keep our campuses and facilities safe, MCC encourages all students, employees and guests to follow healthy practices. Here are some reminders:
- Practice frequent hand washing, sanitizing surfaces, and covering your mouth when coughing or sneezing.
- Stay home when you don’t feel well.
- COVID-19 vaccines and boosters are widely available and encouraged. Please see the Center for Disease Control for the most current and detailed information about vaccine and booster safety.
- Masks and face coverings are still welcome and encouraged, but not required in MCC facilities.
- If you have been exposed to COVID-19, you no longer need to self-report, but keep current on the latest guidance from the CDC.
Personal Safety
We work hard to keep our campuses and facilities safe. Students, employees and the visiting public play a role in campus safety as well. The following resources are meant to help you make the right decisions concerning your own safety and security.
