We continue to prioritize the health and safety of our College community while preserving the continuity of learning. To this end, MCC will offer a wide range of learning options including on-campus, remote, hybrid and online credit, noncredit and workforce training courses. While the College’s Official Campus Use Plan was developed using the most current information available, strategies and protocols may adjust as new developments warrant.
MCC serves approximately 13,000 students each quarter and has approximately 890 full-time and part-time employees. Currently, many classes are online, and many MCC employees are working remotely. MCC does not have residential halls. Therefore, campus attendance fluctuates daily.
This dashboard reflects positive cases self-reported by employees and students through the COVID-19 Reporting Form or by notification from local health departments, regardless of the individual’s work or class location. Individual cases are reported only once. Cumulative figures reflect all positive cases reported to MCC since February 29, 2020 and should not be confused with current case numbers.
This dashboard tracks reported and confirmed cases among MCC faculty, staff, and students who tested positive for COVID-19, regardless of whether they were on-campus or working/learning remotely. To protect individuals' privacy and comply with health privacy laws, no additional information will be provided about the identities of those employees or students who have tested positive, except to the local public health authorities to assist with contact tracing. Numbers may vary from other reporting entities. This dashboard will be updated weekly on Tuesday afternoons, excluding holidays.
The health and well‑being of our campus community is our highest priority. As this public health situation continues to develop, the College will update this page regularly with official announcements and helpful resources.
It is essential for health and safety that any member of the MCC community who is exposed to or tests positive for COVID-19 promptly reports through the MCC COVID-19 Reporting Form.
If you have been exposed or test positive, remain off-campus. After completing the MCC COVID-19 Reporting Form, notify your instructor or supervisor, and await guidance from one of our confidential contact tracing professionals.
To date, our College community has done its part in helping us navigate this pandemic to ensure the health and safety of all.
