Syllabus Statement: COVID-19 Safety Guidelines for Summer 2021 classes
All students coming to campus this summer must adhere to CLC safety guidelines to protect themselves and fellow students from COVID-19.
All students are expected to read the Summer 2021 Student Guide (PDF). They are encouraged to complete the Canvas Campus Safety Module and watch the safety training video available at https://youtu.be/-GxBcuvoyYM. Faculty are encouraged to show this video on the first day of classes.
Students must wear face masks covering their mouth and nose while on campus in any shared space, whether or not others are present. Masks must meet educational environment standards. Disposable masks will be provided at designated entrances. The CDC recommends double masking by wearing a medical mask underneath a cloth mask to improve fit and filtration. Bandannas and gaiters are not allowed. This requirement follows local Lake County Health Department recommendations.
Students should practice social distancing by staying six feet apart in classrooms and campus spaces.
Students should wash their hands regularly and use hand sanitizer frequently.
During class, students should keep their own learning space clean using provided supplies.
