JCCC & COVID-19

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 – Applications Open

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.

During the campus building closures, employees are expected to continue to provide the essential functions of the College. Please work with your manager to understand how you are affected and how your area will deliver essential functions. 

All full-time and part-time regular scheduled staff will receive their regular pay during the campus closure, except as noted below.

If you are a part-time temporary, hourly paid employee, check with your supervisor for guidance on your specific situation.

If your work is considered essential and you are unavailable to work on campus because of a COVID-19 related matter (personal illness, quarantine per CDC guidelines, taking care of an ill family member, or childcare issues related to school or personal daycare closures) and your position provides you with the opportunity to work from home, please work with your supervisor to make necessary arrangements. Otherwise notify your supervisor that your absence is COVID-19 related and sick time will be used to cover your absence.

All college-related travel (domestic & international) is suspended until further guidance is provided by the Johnson County Department of Health and Environment (JCDHE) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). JCCC is following the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) travel advisories.

All on-campus events and in-person 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.
