COVID-19 Updates

Overview
Please note: Any distance learning students or visitors who plan on coming to one of our campuses must show either a proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test within 72 hours of coming to campus. Those who arrive without either proof of vaccination or a negative test will be directed to our on-campus testing site to undergo a rapid test. See below for more information on our Fall 2021 policies.
The health and safety of our college community is our highest priority. As this is an evolving situation, we want to keep our students, faculty, staff, and the larger CCRI community aware of the latest information on the coronavirus, and what the college is doing to prepare for the risk of a potential outbreak.
CCRI Vaccine Policy
CCRI requires all full- and part-time students enrolled for in-person classes for the Fall 2021 semester and all faculty and non-classified employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or have an approved exemption. Visit our Vaccine Policy webpage for more information.
Mask/Face Covering Guidance
Employees, students and visitors – even if they are fully vaccinated – are required to wear a mask/face covering over both their nose and mouth at all times when on campus, except at a workstation/private office that is in an enclosed space or when eating/drinking. Employees and students are expected to provide their own mask/face covering, however the college will provide a mask/face covering at entry if a person comes to campus without one. Face shields without a face mask is not an acceptable face covering.
Testing/Vaccine Clinics
COVID testing and vaccine clinics will be offered at all select campuses throughout the fall semester, available to faculty, staff, and students. Please continue to check this page for updates on future dates, times, and locations.
