This helps to prevent droplets from an asymptomatic individual from being expelled into the air, where they can linger for periods as long as an hour, and can be absorbed through another individual’s eyes, even if that individual is wearing a mask. In short, wearing a mask not only protects the wearer of the mask, but also those with whom the wearer comes into contact. Employees and Contractors All CCAC employees, contractors, vendors and other service providers will be required to wear a mask or face covering that meets CDC guidelines at all times while in any non-private (single occupant) room or work location and while in areas in which the individual will or is likely to be in proximity to other individuals (common areas, lobbies, hallways, elevators). In order to facilitate clear communication of lecture content and instruction to all students, CCAC faculty members will have the option to use a mask or a clear face shield when providing instruction in a classroom or laboratory. Students and Visitors All CCAC students and visitors will be required to wear a mask or face covering that meets CDC guidelines at all times when inside CCAC buildings and facilities, including in laboratories, classrooms and other learning spaces. Students and visitors will also be required to wear a mask when meeting in person with advisors, counselors, supportive services personnel, registration and other College staff members. Students or visitors who do not want to wear a mask in order to meet with an advisor, counselor or other College representative may schedule a virtual appointment. Students in clinical assignments will be required to comply with the rules and procedures in effect at the site of the clinical placement. Any student that needs to remove his or her facemask during a classroom or laboratory period for a personal reason, such as to take medication or drink water, will be required to leave the classroom or laboratory before removing his or her mask. Students in laboratories will be required to utilize and follow all sterile techniques as communicated by their instructor. A supply of approved masks will be available on a first come/first serve basis at the security desk of each College building or facility that is open to students and visitors, as well as in classrooms and laboratories that are open for student and faculty use. 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 to request an accommodation and evaluate potential alternatives. Employees who cannot wear a mask due to a disability or other medical condition are required to contact the College’s Human Resources to discuss potential accommodations.
