COVID Guidelines and Resources

Students on campus

Coming to Campus

Make sure you're feeling well before coming to campus. If you are feeling sick, please stay home. The health, safety and well-being of our community are our top priority. The college continues to monitor COVID-19 in our region.

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.

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.
