What does this mean?

To reintegrate critical employees and a limited number of students onto the physical campus for essential functions and classes that cannot be carried out remotely. The primary focus is implementing recommended physical distancing measures, procuring and installing additional personal protective equipment to ensure staff and students' safety.

Health and Safety

Specific measures have been put into place to protect the entire college community's health and safety as we work together to limit the spread of COVID-19. Therefore, only employees identified by their supervisors as having critical functions will be permitted on campus unless other arrangements are made. All students, employees, vendors, and necessary visitors on campus must wear a face covering and stay six feet apart. Do not come to campus if you are sick or experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, including fever, coughing, or difficulty breathing.

Cleaning Protocols & Personal Hygiene

Sanitizer stations have been installed throughout campus.
On-campus ventilation and cleaning protocols have been enhanced.
Follow proper hygiene such as hand washing and avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

Face Coverings & Face Masks

Temperature checks will be mandatory upon entry (date to be determined).
Face coverings are required for all and will be provided as needed. Failure to wear a face-covering or mask will result in being asked to leave campus.
Employees work in zones to maintain social distancing using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Social & Physical Distancing

All work and classroom areas have been reviewed and modified to ensure proper physical distancing.
Social distancing is in effect; you will find floor markers throughout campus.
Protective barriers, such as Plexiglas, have been installed in high traffic areas.
Physically distance yourself from anyone you do not live with, especially vulnerable friends and family.

Cautiously Reopening Phase

Starting August 10, 2020, ECC will be transitioning to the next phase of its reopening plan, referred to as “SemiNormal.”

Spring Classes

To keep our students and campus community safe, spring 2021 classes will be offered primarily online – with face-to-face instruction provided only when necessary. Learn more about what to expect in the Spring 2021 semester.

Meetings, Events & Visitors

ECC facilities are not open to the general public, although limited on-campus appointments are available. Hours are published on the RemoteHub.
To limit exposure of COVID-19 through social distancing, ECC is limiting large gatherings during the spring semester.

Reporting to Campus

Classes start on January 19, 2021, and we continue to prioritize the health and safety of all.
Most employees, except those identified as having critical functions, will continue to work remotely. If you are coming back to campus, it is required that all employees complete the Return to Work/Illness reporting form before their first day back on campus. English Version Spanish Version
As always, if you are sick or experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, including fever, coughing, or difficulty breathing, do not come to campus.

Travel

Currently, no out-of-state College-sponsored travel is approved, and only local travel is approved for critical functions to support student success directly.
We will re-evaluate College-sponsored travel in October to ensure we are in keeping with best practices and recommendations.
