JCCC & COVID-19

JCCC is a Partner Site for COVID Drive-Thru Testing By Appointment

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is increasing COVID-19 drive-thru testing opportunities throughout the state and in Johnson County, Kansas. They have partnered with WellHealth to launch this testing and JCCC is a community partner test site. Testing will continue through the end of June, weather permitting. Testing is free.

  • Testing is available to Kansas residents
  • Testing is for individuals with or without symptoms
This is a drive-thru testing site in the Galileo Garage lower level. Please follow the signs to the designated entrance location.

Important Campus Access

At JCCC, we continue to implement measures to ensure the safest possible environment for you, our employees and visitors on our different campus locations. Since last spring, we have implemented best practice guidelines to follow for the public areas of our buildings and classrooms.

As you may be aware from our online COVID-19 Case tracker, we continue to have a very low number of cases associated with the College. Nevertheless, we are taking additional steps to reduce the footprint of individuals on campus because of the rising incidence of the virus in Johnson County and the strain this is putting on our local health care providers.

If you have questions about your classes, you should be in communication with your instructor(s).

Please know that ALL decisions made on how JCCC serves your educational needs will continue to center on protecting your personal safety and that of our employees, while responding to the demands on our community health resources. If you are in need of financial assistance, food assistance or a laptop/hotspot loan, please contact JCCC’s Student Basic Needs Center.

  • Public outdoor spaces where 6 feet of social distancing cannot be maintained – facial coverings required

  • Classrooms – facial coverings required

  • Work areas where more than one person shares the same space (work areas, office suites, meeting/conference rooms) – facial coverings required
