JCCC & COVID-19

Guidelines Clarification

On July 10 the College clarified its interpretation of the Governor’s Executive Order regarding wearing face coverings, which the Johnson County Board of Commissioners upheld on July 2 and again on July 9.

The Return to Campus Guidelines webpage has been updated to reflect this clarification.

Daily Wellness Check

All JCCC personnel and students must complete the COVID-19 wellness self-check PRIOR to coming to any JCCC location each day. 

If you have any questions or concerns about self-screening, please contact IncidentResponseTeam@jccc.edu or BenefitsDepartment-forward@jccc.edu

Return to Campus Plan 

The JCCC Return to Campus Task Force released the campus' four-step Return to Campus Plan, which include guidelines for students, staff and visitors who will be on campus once it's open.

The campus is currently in "Step 3" of the plan.

Spring Course Completion

Instructors will notify students in courses that could not complete instruction during the spring semester of plans for completing remaining coursework once the JCCC campus is able to safely reopen on June 22.

The instructor will enter an “I” (incomplete) grade for each student in the course and will later submit a Grade Change Form to record each student’s final grade after the remaining coursework is complete.

Students will not need to re-enroll in the course in order to complete the remaining coursework for an I grade.

JCCC Offers Online Options 

JCCC has several ways to take classes that aren't just "online." We have online hybrid classes and self-paced classes among others.

COVID-19 Relief Fund

Federal government funding has been allocated to assist students with covering expenses related to the disruption of campus operations and services available due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recycling

The public recycling bins at the warehouse are closed until further notice so that our limited staff do not have to handle materials coming in.

Ripple glass will still be open; glass recycling is a fully automated system.

The Ed Tech department provides Canvas training sessions, advice and support to faculty who would like to discuss issues regarding remote delivery of their courses. 

Communication from faculty to students is key. Make plans to communicate with students through Canvas, email, phone, etc.

Effective July 1, 2020, College sponsored domestic travel may resume, subject to approval, except to those destinations identified as requiring self-quarantine, as identified by the state of Kansas on the KDHE Travel & Exposure Related Isolation/Quarantine web page.

The State of Kansas updates the list regularly and it should be checked before requesting travel. Please note that no international travel for college business will be approved at this time. Additionally, in order to help determine whether travel is appropriate for you, please review the Center for Disease Control’s Considerations for Travelers in the US.

All on-campus events and activities have been canceled or moved online. 

 

The JCCC Incident Response Team has initiated a Return to Campus Task Force to focus on the safety of our students, faculty and staff as they navigate the changed College environment and determine any critical needs. 

They released their 4-step plan; details are on the Return to Campus Plan webpage.
