We’ve confirmed with the Manager of Emergency and Risk Management that there have been no substantive changes to COVID-19 protocols. As a result, as you prepare for winter term, we wanted to provide a quick refresher on the COVID-19 protocols and resources. Please connect with your supervisor if you have any questions or concerns related to this information. 

Thanks in advance for keeping the needs of our students front and center. 

Sincerely,

Michael Vargo, Vice President – Academic Affairs
Bruce Clemetsen, Vice President – Student Affairs

COVID-19 Resources, Syllabus Statement and Welcome Script

• Oregon OSHA still requires employers to notify employees who have had a potential work-related exposure to COVID-19, so we continue to use the COVID-19 Questionnaire for reporting. The college applies the same reporting and notification standard to our students. 
• To ensure that expectations are clear to students regarding COVID-19 reporting requirements, please include the COVID-19 protocol statement on your syllabus. 
• The syllabus statement, welcome script for in-person classes and links to other resources, are available on the Center for Academic Innovation Faculty Hub > Syllabus Resource page.
• Public Website Information: Chemeketa Coronavirus Resources & Information Public Website
• If you have questions about college protocols or expectations, please contact the Manager of Emergency and Risk Management (503-403-9624 or 503-399-8635) or your Dean/Director.

 Masks/Masking

Face masks are available throughout campuses and centers, and N/KN-95 masks are available for anyone who requests them at Human Resources or at our information desks. While faculty cannot require masks be worn in their classrooms, faculty may still restrict any eating and drinking within their own classrooms. Chemeketa encourages vaccinations and booster shots, if one is physically able.
