RCC is following guidelines from the U.S. Centers of Disease Control (CDC), the Virginia Department of Health(VDH), and state and local departments. We are guided by four key goals: safeguarding the health of students, faculty, staff, and the community; ensuring instruction continues; maintaining the College’s operations; and joining in the national effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Your Responsibilities
The RCC community shares an accountability to one another to follow these safety steps for our own well-being and that of others.
1. Complete the Health Safety Agreement
Students
All students are required to complete the Student Health Safety Agreement Google Form OR PDF upon starting classes for the upcoming semesters to assure they understand their obligations in maintaining a safe environment when on campus.
Faculty & Staff
Likewise, all faculty and staff are required to complete the Faculty and Staff Health Safety Agreement that provides VCCS guidelines to ensure the health and well-being of everyone working, studying and visiting our campuses.
2. Think Safety — Be Aware
Be sure to know your COVID-19 Community Level. Maintain social distance when possible and wash hands/sanitize often. People with symptoms, a positive test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19 should follow CDC guidance on isolation and masking. Be kind to those who chose to wear a mask.
3. Self-Screen Daily
It is a requirement for all students and staff visiting the RCC campus to self-screen daily. Please complete a self-screening survey by clicking the button below or the link here to ensure the safety of fellow students and employees.
4. Report Any Exposures
If you have tested positive, or have had “Direct Contact” with someone showing COVID-19 symptoms, or someone who later tested positive for the coronavirus, you have a duty to report that you were exposed and provide when and which RCC campuses were visited. This information helps track and reduce the spread of the virus. Please use these two forms to report exposures or positive cases, submit online or via email to covidreporting@rappahannock.edu:
5. Follow Travel Guidelines
