Hello, Yetis!
Cleveland Community College continues to work with local county, health, and emergency management officials to actively monitor novel coronavirus disease to protect the health and wellness of our campus community. Please continue to use this page as a resource for COVID-19 updates and safety information.
Due to the increase in COVID-related illnesses throughout our county, CCC’s COVID-19 Response Team has determined the best way to keep our Yeti family safe is to require masks inside all CCC facilities. The requirement will take effect Monday, August 23.
We hope this will be a temporary measure, but our priority is keeping our Yeti family safe. Right now, that means wearing masks. Our COVID-19 Response Team continues to meet twice each week to review data on the number of positive cases in the county and on campus. As the situation improves and the number of positive cases decreases, the Response Team will reevaluate the mask requirement.
Classes and Student Services
Classes for the fall semester will continue as scheduled, and student common areas remain open to the public. We are also offering virtual services to assist students, if necessary, and are encouraging anyone needing assistance to contact us at 704.669.4081 to review virtual assistance options.
Supporting our students
CCC continues to offer multiple support options for students. We can assist with items related to:
- Health and wellness counseling

- Technology check-out options from our library

Guidance for Students:
- Students who complete a portion of their coursework at off-site locations (clinical settings, work-based learning, childcare centers, etc.) should adhere to the requirements of that location.

Keeping our Campus Community Safe
It is important that employees and students not come to campus if they are sick or have tested positive for COVID-19. Please continue to report if exposed, tested, or diagnosed with COVID-19 using the self-reporting illness form on the College’s website.
You should complete a self-reporting illness form if:
- you have symptoms consistent with COVID-19 (regardless of vaccination status)
- you have an exposure to COVID-19
- you are awaiting a test result for COVID-19, or someone in your household is awaiting a test result
- you are diagnosed with COVID-19
What can you do to help?
- Stay home from work or school if:
- You are sick
- You are considered a close contact to someone that has COVID-19
- If someone in your household is sick
- If you or someone in your household are awaiting test results
- Follow the 3 W’s: Wear a face covering, Wait 6-feet apart, Wash your hands often
- Clean your home and workspace often
Please remember that our team will work with you if you are asked to quarantine or self-isolate for reasons related to COVID-19. Let’s all do our part to help reduce the spread of the virus on campus.
Stay safe!
