Coronavirus (COVID-19) Updates

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. Per the CDC, COVID-19 vaccination is recommended.

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, RSV, or Influenza

Health Services checks in with all students and employees who let us know that they have COVID-19, flu, and RSV and track their cases. We follow CDC, NYS DOH, and county health department guidelines for respiratory viruses.

Isolate from others until symptoms improve and you have not taken a fever reducer within 24 hours of returning to campus. You will be required to wear a mask for five days after you return.

  • Students: contact Health Services and your primary medical doctor, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner.
  • Employees: contact Health Services and Human Resources. Human Resources will instruct employees on how to document their absence. Employees should also notify their primary medical provider for advice about care and return to work.
  • Monitor your symptoms. If you have an emergency, or warning signs (like trouble breathing), seek emergency medical care immediately.
  • Stay home and isolate yourself from others in your home. Don’t share personal household items. Take steps to improve ventilation at home, if possible.
  • Wear a high-quality mask if you must be around others at home and in public.
  • Treatments for the flu and COVID-19 can lessen your symptoms and decrease your time of illness.
