CCBC is here to support you with on-campus health protocols.
While CCBC has not issued a coronavirus vaccine mandate for all students, there is a vaccine mandate for the following specific groups of students:
These students’ education includes clinical experience or patient care in a lab. Students must provide evidence to their program director that they are fully vaccinated.
A vaccine is encouraged, but not required, for students in the Mortuary Science program in the School of Health Professions.
These students’ education includes clinical experience or patient care in a lab. Students must provide evidence to their program director that they are fully vaccinated. A vaccine is encouraged, but not required, for students in the Child Care Provider program, Medical Front Office program, Medical Billing program, and Medical Coding program in the School of Continuing Education.
CCBC will consider any requests for an exemption to this vaccine requirement for medical or religious reasons on a case-by-case basis. Students with an approved exemption will be required to test at least weekly.

If you feel sick, stay home at the first signs of illness (regardless of vaccination status). Do not wait until you feel sick a few days in a row. Continue safety practices such as hand-washing and sanitizing. Get tested for COVID-19 and/ or whatever else your doctor feels is appropriate given your symptoms.
CCBC holds as paramount the health, safety and welfare of every member of our community. We are taking steps to minimize the risk of COVID-19 infections at CCBC. This means actively monitoring COVID-19 developments, adhering to national, state and local health guidelines and requirements, and implementing the measures CCBC deems safe and appropriate.
Please do not come to class or work at CCBC if you are sick. We ask that you isolate and quarantine when required. In keeping with the spirit of CCBC, every member of our community must do their part, not just for themselves, but for the safety of others.
Specific details on what CCBC is doing to address COVID-19 concerns are available on this webpage. These details may change as circumstances dictate. As you know, none of us can guarantee how COVID-19 or its variants will evolve and impact us here at CCBC, and none of us, including CCBC, can guarantee a COVID-19-free environment. This is simply not feasible.
Given this transparency, students and employees should understand that if you visit, attend or work on any CCBC campus, there is a risk you may contract COVID-19. We are certainly taking all recommended steps to mitigate this risk, but we can in no way guarantee this will not happen. It would be disingenuous to suggest otherwise. By coming onto campus, you understand that this is possible.
We are living in unique and uncertain times. None of us can know what the future holds, but CCBC is working to provide its full range of credit and continuing education offerings as well as its regular spectrum of student services.
The CDC offers resources to help you stay knowledgeable and safe.
