COVID Guidelines and Resources

Students on campus

Coming to Campus

Here are a few ways we can take care of ourselves and others:

  • Please stay home if you are sick.
  • Use precautions to prevent spread, including staying home and away from others if you have respiratory symptoms.
  • If you are experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms or running a fever, please stay home.
  • Refresh your knowledge of good hygiene including handwashing.
  • If you test positive for COVID, please follow the CDC guidelines for when to return to normal activities.
  • Students should work with their instructors to navigate any class absences as they would other illnesses. Employees should work directly with their supervisors.

Vaccination

Harper does not have a COVID-19 vaccine requirement (Health Careers students should check with their faculty about any program-specific requirements). The college strongly encourages everyone who is able to get vaccinated and boosted.

Masks

Masks are welcome, but not required.

How to Properly Wear a Face Mask

COVID-19 testing

Testing is not required to come to campus, and the college no longer provides on-campus testing. Contact Endeavor Health at Harper College to inquire about COVID-19 testing; please check on any insurance requirements. In addition, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has resources for finding low- or no-cost testing in the area.
