Please click on the button below to read the latest COVID-19 update from the College’s Institutional Response Team (IRT). This message was sent to the campus community via email on Friday, August 5.

Members of the campus community who test positive for COVID-19 should report their positive case to the College using the COVID-19 Reporting Form (click on the button below), and should immediately follow applicable quarantine & isolation guidance as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

North Central College is committed to the health, safety and wellbeing of the campus community. The College’s Institutional Response Team (IRT) continues to actively monitor the COVID-19 landscape across the state and within our region, and will update the College’s health and safety protocols as necessary. Please be mindful of the following:

• All campus community members are expected to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, including the requisite number of booster shots for those who are eligible.
• Per the recently updated executive order by the governor of Illinois, the College no longer requires campus community members to submit proof of their COVID-19 vaccination status, and weekly COVID-19 testing is not required for those who are not fully vaccinated.
• North Central is a mask-friendly environment. Students, faculty and staff are welcome to wear a mask in any setting if they choose, and wearing a mask should not be considered an indication of an individual’s vaccination or health status.
