During periods of public health emergencies as declared by the state of Rhode Island, all students
are expected to comply with the directives of the Department of Health and the Governor’s Office. Since public health situations can change rapidly, students should expect that rules and regulations may
change relatively quickly. Changes will be communicated as quickly as possible. Please monitor your CCRI email account for updates and notifications.
For the current year, the following rules will be enforced on all campuses until further notice:
- Presentation of valid proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
- The correct wearing of an approved and effective face mask to prevent the spread of
micro-droplets in public.
- Maintaining a social distance as required.
- Keeping all gatherings, indoors or outdoors, to the approved maximum.
- In support of these efforts, students are expected to comply with posted notices regarding
entrances and exits, flow of traffic, spacing in lines, elevator occupancy guidelines, and classroom instructions.
Failure to comply with the above will be treated as a violation of the Student Code of Conduct, sections 9 and
11. Students unable to wear a mask due to a disability or medical condition should contact Disability Services for
appropriate classroom accommodations. Please note, the Americans with Disabilities
Act does not authorize not wearing a mask during a public health crisis as a reasonable accommodation. Other
accommodations will be made for those with a medical need.
