COVID-19 Cases

As COVID-19 cases increase across the state and globe, we’ll do our part to share the number of cases JJC has confirmed among our students and employees.

**The above figures represent the cumulative number of student and employee cases that have been communicated to JJC, and does not reflect how many may no longer be ill or include those who are not experiencing symptoms.

Be advised that students have not been on campus since March 13, the last day before spring break, and effective March 29 JJC moved all its classes online for the remainder of the spring semester. Most of JJC’s 1,500 plus employees are currently working from home. When essential employees come to campus, we have continued to take steps above and beyond CDC social distancing guidelines.

Self-Reporting COVID-19 Cases

The college has also and will continue to encourage students and employees to follow self-reporting guidelines. Even as students take classes and employees work remotely, it is important that the college know if you’ve tested positive for COVID-19, in order to properly assist you and inform others who you may have come into contact with. JJC will maintain the privacy of these individuals, per HIPPA guidelines.

• For students that have tested positive for COVID-19, or may need to self-quarantine for any reason, we request that you contact the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities at 815-280-2761 or deanofstudents@jjc.edu.
• For employees that have tested positive for COVID-19, or may need to self-quarantine for any reason, we request you contact Human Resources at 815-280-2266 or hr@jjc.edu.

We ask our entire campus community to continue to abide by shelter in place mandates and social distancing techniques to support the health and well-being of our community.
