COVID-19 Update – May 19, 2021


The College’s updated face covering policy applies until further notice and is based on the CDC recommendations, Governor Cooper’s most recent mandate, and NC DHHS guidance for non-vaccinated persons.

COVID-19 vaccinated employees and students in small groups may remove their masks indoors. Unvaccinated persons should continue to wear their masks indoors. Outdoors, individuals may remove masks unless clustered in large groups.

Vaccination information is protected medical information and can only be discovered on a voluntary basis. Please be considerate and empathetic with fellow campus community members who may choose not to share this information.

We continue to navigate a very sensitive stage of recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and policies may continue to change. We appreciate every one of you who has contributed to the successful journey we’ve had thus far.
