SUNY lifts the COVID-19 vaccine requirement for JCC
The State University of New York no longer requires a COVID-19 vaccine for students attending Jamestown Community College, effective as of summer 2023, coinciding with the official end of the national public health emergency by President Biden’s administration.
- SUNY COVID-19 Guidance for the Fall 2023 Semester
- SUNY COVID-19 Vaccination Policy for the Fall 2023 Semester
Students enrolled in any program or course or who are participating in a clinical or internship held at a third-party location must continue to comply with all health and safety guidelines, including any vaccination or testing protocols that are in place at the third-party location.
Submit your records
If you have received the COVID-19 vaccination, turn your records in to the JCC Health Center.
If you test positive for COVID-19
Health Services check in with all students and employees who let us know that they have COVID-19, and track their cases. We follow CDC, NYS DOH, and county health department guidelines for COVID-19.
The guidelines require isolating for five days and wearing a high-quality mask for five days after, to prevent spreading COVID-19. After five days, COVID-19 can still be spread in work, class, and home environments.
- Students: contact Health Services.
- Employees: contact Health Services and Human Resources. Human Resources will instruct employees how to document their absence. Employees should also notify their primary medical provider for their advice about care and returning to work.
Returning to JCC
Students and employees are permitted to return to campus wearing a high-quality mask after five days, provided they have not taken Tylenol or other fever reducer in the past twenty-four hours as per CDC guidelines. Limited quantities of Rapid Antigen Tests and masks are available outside each Health Center.
