COVID Protocols 24-25
HEALTH AND SAFETY
EMCC’s public health protocols are subject to change as the COVID-19 situation in Maine continues to evolve and as advised by President Russell and/or the Maine Community College System.
Due to the higher transmissibility of the Omicron variant, all students, including those who are fully vaccinated, should have a plan for isolation housing off-campus. Isolation housing on campus is reserved for those residential students who are fully vaccinated and are unable to travel home due to distance.
Please note that decisions relating to EMCC’s health and safety protocols are dependent on caseloads in the state and are developed in consultation with the Maine Community College System, the Maine CDC and our medical advisors. Masking requirements are subject to change and may evolve rapidly over time.

Student Vaccine Protocol
The Maine Community College System (MCCS) strongly encourages students to stay up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters, but they are not required.
There is one exception: MCCS students in some programs may require vaccination against COVID-19 due to requirements at third-party locations, such as student placement sites.
Details on the MCCS COVID protocols are available online at www.mccs.me.edu/covid-19.
If You Test Positive for COVID-19
If you test positive for COVID, you need to stay isolated and out of class/work, until 24 hours after a fever ends or the symptoms begin to abate, and then wear a mask indoors for 5 days.
