Your Safety Is Everything to Us
We continue to prioritize the health and safety of our College community while preserving the continuity of learning. MCC will run limited capacity operations to support educational use to credit and noncredit students, faculty, staff, workforce training participants, as well as business and community partners.
Safety measures and directives in our facilities remain in place to keep students, staff and the public safe. 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 COVID-19 Dashboard
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. It should be noted that throughout the reporting period reflected, MCC has recorded only one case of on-campus transmission.
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.
