The latest details on Joliet Junior College operations amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
From Executive Vice President Yolanda Farmer on July 14, 2022
Governor Pritzker has rescinded the mandate requiring higher education employees and students be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or submit to weekly testing in order to access college campuses. The executive order can be viewed online at illinois.gov.
This means that JJC will no longer require employees or students to submit vaccine records, weekly tests, or answer symptom checks through the Cleared4 platform. This is effective immediately.
Reporting Positive COVID cases
The college will still require employees and students to complete this form if they have confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19. This reporting form is used for both employees and students.
Masks Optional
As of May 27, JJC is operating in a mask-optional environment across campus. Masks are no longer required in classrooms or large meeting spaces.
