COVID-19 Information
We continue to monitor current and expected conditions and follow New Hampshire Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) and CDC guidance to determine which programs and prevention measures are appropriate for our College Community.
If you test positive for COVID-19 you must remain off-campus, follow the guidance below.
Students, Notifying your professor helps you to develop a plan for your continued success during any COVID-related absence from campus, but it also helps us to keep your fellow students safe.
Faculty or Staff who test positive may notify their immediate supervisor.
Our current COVID-19 protocol is outlined below.
