Expectations and Guidelines of Individuals Visiting MCCC’s Campus
All who enter the Monroe County Community Campus are expected to comply with the protocols and guidelines put in place in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Do not come to campus if you are sick.
- Social distancing practices must be followed by staying 6 feet apart from other people at all times, not gathering in groups and avoiding crowded places and mass gatherings.
- Face masks or face coverings must be worn by all persons inside college facilities. Face shields are required in classrooms and labs when direct contact is unavoidable. In these cases, shields will be provided to faculty and students. Per CDC guidelines, face shields should not be used as a substitute for face coverings. Instead, shields are to be used in addition to face coverings as an extra layer of protection when direct contact is unavoidable and/or social distancing is not possible.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, sneezing or touching your face. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol.
COVID-19 Symptom Monitoring – Students and Visitors
Prior to coming to Campus, students and visitors are requested to ask themselves the following questions regarding COVID-19 symptoms. If you answer YES to any of these questions, DO NOT come to Campus. Students should be cognizant of attendance policies outlined in class syllabi and contact their instructors immediately.
- In the past 24 hours I HAVE experienced AT LEAST ONE of the following symptoms
- Subjective fever (felt feverish)

Cleaning and Disinfection
The frequency of cleaning and disinfection has been increased on high-touch surfaces. Enhanced cleaning and disinfection will be performed if persons suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19 have been on campus.
Office/Classroom/Lab Environments
If you are in an open environment, be sure to maintain at least 6 feet distance from others. You should wear a facemask or face covering at all times while in a shared space/room/hallway. The college is installing clear acrylic sneeze guards/desktop plexiglass shields for front-facing offices and services. Please observe all signage regarding building access and exit, closed spaces and furniture, and social distancing.
Using Restrooms
Use of restrooms should be limited based on size to ensure at least 6 feet distance between individuals. Wash your hands thoroughly afterward to reduce the potential transmission of the virus. The college is instituting restroom closures in some of the buildings.
Using Elevators
The college is requesting that no more than one person enter an elevator at a time unless necessary. Please use the stairs whenever possible. If you are using an elevator, please wear a face covering and do not touch buttons with your exposed hand/fingers, if possible.
