Rock Valley College COVID-19 Response

• Cases of COVID-19 will no longer be tracked through RVC – cases will be tracked and traced via an individual's local health department.
• Data regarding COVID infections among RVC students and employees will no longer be available on the college website. Local information can be found at the Illinois Department of Public Health.
• RVC students and employees no longer need to self-report COVID symptoms, exposure, or positive cases to the college. However, students should contact the Dean of Students Office if they are ill (for any reason) and require medical leave.
• If on leave, students and employees should follow up with their healthcare provider regarding a return to school/work date.
• RVC will no longer require proof of vaccination status or weekly testing.
• For employees, HB 1167 has expired. Therefore, employees will no longer be reinstated for COVID-related sick leave.

• monitor air quality at all locations
• have temperature check stations in all buildings
• continue to follow sanitization protocols, and
• follow the college's Communicable Disease Policy.

If you experience symptoms and suspect you may be infected with COVID, community testing continues to be available on a limited basis (see below).

Thank you for your continued patience and adaptability as we navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic together. Together, we are RVC Strong and keep our college a safe place to learn and work.
