Coronavirus Information

coronavirus web Mar20

Umpqua Community College (UCC) is committed to protecting the health of our students, employees, and the community. The College actively gathers and shares information about the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) with staff and students at all of its campus locations.

While global health experts continue to learn more about this virus, what is known is that viruses do not discriminate.

COVID-19 is not associated with any race, ethnicity, or nationality. It is vital that our community work to combat discrimination based on racial bias or appearances and to correct misinformation on the spot. Make sure you only share accurate, unbiased information, and speak up when you hear, see, or read misinformation or harassment.

Incidents of bias or harassment on campus can be reported to Student Services. UCC employees should report incidents to the Office of Human Resources.

COVID-19 Related Complaints and Concerns

A form has been created specifically for COVID-19 concerns. Students and employees may use this form to report any COVID-19 complaints or concerns to the College.

Face Coverings on Campus

Please be advised that face coverings are required on the UCC Campus. The College is abiding by the guidance issued by the Oregon Health Authority that went into effect on Nov. 18, 2020: OHA Statewide Face Covering Guidance.

Face coverings are required in “common or shared space,” which includes areas where individuals may interact such as a restroom, breakroom, hallway, elevator, lobby, classroom, large room with cubicles, meeting rooms, conference rooms, and any area open to the public. Outdoors is considered a common space on campus. This means face coverings are also required when you are in outside spaces (parking lots, walkways, patios, and grounds).

Where face coverings are NOT required to be worn:

In a “private, individual workspace.” Defined as an indoor space within a public or private workplace used for work by one individual at a time that is enclosed on all sides with walls from floor to ceiling and with a closed door.
In their own residence.
In their own personal vehicle.
Is under five (5) years of age.
While eating or drinking.
Engaged in an activity that makes wearing a mask, face covering, or face shield not feasible, such as when taking a shower.
While sleeping.

Campus security personnel are monitoring the campus to ensure compliance with OSHA COVID-19 requirements.
