COVID-19 vaccinations
All students accessing SUNY facilities for any in-person classes or activities must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with limited exception. A booster is strongly encouraged but not required.
- Vaccination records must be provided two weeks prior to arriving on campus for any reason.
- On-campus JCC students have to submit proof of COVID-19 and all other required immunizations to the Health Center to avoid academic withdrawal from all on-campus courses, financial liability, or negative impacts on financial aid status.
Face masks not required
With the news from the CDC and Governor Hochul’s office, effective Wednesday, March 2, 2022, masks are no longer mandated in buildings or classrooms at any JCC location. These revised guidelines will continue to be formulated as a result of daily review of our local health department consultations and COVID-19 case data in our counties.
Any employee, student, or visitor who wishes to continue masking for any reason may do so without question or explanation. Masks continue to be available at the entrances of our buildings. Employees and students are welcome to contact a Health Center for masks to best protect them from virus transmission.
All plexiglass barriers remain intact. These barriers continue to protect students and employees from airborne illnesses beyond COVID-19 such as colds, influenza, and pneumonia during peak season of these illnesses.
Other requirements
- Weekly pool testing remains mandatory for unvaccinated employees and students with medical or religious exemptions. Pool testing also remains open to anyone who wishes to test despite being vaccinated. Pool testing »
