Update to Isolation and Quarantine Protocols for Employees

Given recent changes to guidance surrounding Isolation and Quarantine from the CDC, updated Isolation and Quarantine Protocols and Notification Procedures for employees can be found here.

Ithaca College continues to STRONGLY ENCOURAGE all employees of the college to be vaccinated and seek out booster dose opportunities if they are eligible to do so. Ithaca College has continued to see no incidence of significant spread in structured on-campus settings where public health protocols are adhered to and rigidly enforced. The college is not implementing a mandatory vaccine or booster requirement for this population at this time.

Vaccinated employees should log in to the COVID-19 Vaccination Card Submission with their Netpass credentials to upload their vaccination card. Employees who have received the booster, should login through the same link and upload their updated vaccination cards.

Unvaccinated employees must continue to participate in the required mandatory surveillance testing if they are working on campus this semester. Surveillance testing must be completed once per week in order to access campus, regardless of the frequency you work on campus this semester. This testing must be completed on campus and at any of the drop boxes around campus. Locations include: PRW Center, and Farm Pond Road (selected employees). Please note, starting in mid-February, testing drop boxes will only be available in Emerson Hall and Farm Pond Road (for select employees).
