Syllabus Statement: COVID-19 Safety Guidelines for Spring 2022 classes
All students coming to campus this spring must adhere to CLC safety guidelines to protect themselves and fellow students from COVID-19.
All students are expected to read the Spring 2022 Student Guide.
Wearing a mask is required while walking through any public or shared spaces, whether or not others are present, to contain the spread of airborne particles. Students can bring and use their own masks that fully cover their nose and mouth and meet appropriate professional standards for the learning environment. Bandannas and gaiters are not considered appropriate masks per CLC guidelines as they are not endorsed by the CDC.
If students have a medical condition impeding their ability to wear a face mask for an extended time, they should contact the Access and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) at (847) 543-2474 or email adrc@clcillinois.edu to discuss possible accommodations and receive documentation.
Students should watch their physical distancing. Maintain six feet from others whenever possible. Campus spaces have been configured to help individuals maintain six feet physical distancing.
Students should wash their hands frequently using soap and hot water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available. Hand sanitizer stations are placed throughout campus.
During class, students should keep their own learning space clean using provided supplies.
