A Safe Return to Campus
Let's keep our campus community safe.

Masking requirements may be enforced during COVID-19 outbreaks or at the requirements of public health agencies. An alert will be posted at the top of this page in the case of an outbreak.
- Testing remains available once a week at every RCCD location. Additional take-home test kits are available at request.
- We encourage everyone to get vaccinated against COVID-19 to help ensure the health and safety of our most vulnerable community members.
The MVC Safe Reopening Plan addresses needed safety and policy changes to courses with in-person learning. Our safe return principles include:
- Ensure the safety and well being of students and employees
- Meet student needs for equitable access to quality instruction and student support services
- Support instructional needs for the delivery of high-quality courses
- Ensure resource availability to support all instruction and services

While College services are open for in-person use, students, employees and the community must follow all safety protocols.
- Report cases of positive COVID-19 tests or instances of close contact with a COVID-19 positive individual to help with contact tracing and campus safety.
- Testing is available in the community for free. Tests may take up to two days to process. Take home test results are also accepted if you need to provide a false report.
Timely reporting helps prevent further spread of COVID-19. All employees and students are required to immediately report if they have tested positive for COVID-19, experience COVID-19 symptoms, or have been identified as a close contact of an infected person.
