The CDC standards for acceptable masks or facial coverings must be used. If a mask/facial covering does not meet these guidelines, individuals will be offered an appropriate disposable mask. For details regarding cloth face coverings, including how to create, wear and care for homemade face coverings, visit the CDC website. Masks with one-way valves or vents are not an acceptable form of facial covering. Students may wear a cloth face covering. The fabric design or pattern for cloth face coverings should be appropriate for the collegiate environment. Cloth face coverings must only be worn for one day at a time and must be properly laundered before use again. Having a week’s supply of cloth face coverings can help reduce the need for daily laundering. ACCOMMODATIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES Students who cannot wear a mask due to a disability or other medical condition are required to contact the College’s Office of Supportive Services ( SupportiveServices@ccac.edu) to request an accommodation and evaluate potential alternatives. The protocol for requesting a face mask alternative is as follows: Students must self-identify this need by contacting Supportive Services. Students will be required to provide medical documentation from a certified physician or mental health professional. The documentation should identify the functional limitations of wearing a face mask due to a disability or medical condition. The Directors of Supportive Services will convene as a team to assess the documentation. A determination will be made promptly after receipt of the medical documentation. Students will not be permitted to attend on-site classes without a face mask until a final determination is made. An example of an accommodation is providing the student with an alternative mask type that is not as constrictive as other face masks. Students who cannot be accommodated to continue on-site will be recommended to enroll in one of the many course options available at CCAC through online or remote delivery. Employees who cannot wear a mask due to a disability or other medical condition are required to contact the College’s Human Resources Department, humanresources@ccac.edu or 412.237.3110 to discuss potential accommodations.
