COVID-19 Student Procedures

January 4, 2022

This update provides guidance to students regarding steps you can take to protect yourself and others when experiencing symptoms of the coronavirus and what to do if you or someone you have had contact with tests positive.

Protecting the health and safety of our students and employees is our biggest priority at Yavapai College. Our instructors and staff care deeply about your wellbeing and the fulfillment of your academic goals. To ensure that we are providing all necessary assistance, YC requires active students to do the following:

  • YC requires temperature checks for on-campus students that are at higher risk of being exposed or exposing others to the disease primarily due to lack of face covers or social distancing or the nature of their job/discipline. This includes, but is not limited to, students in First Responder, ECE, FEC, PE, OLLI, and Performing Arts programs as well as students who live in the YC Residence Halls.
  • ISOLATE and self-report via the Student Reporting Form under the COVID-19 panel in the myYC portal if you have tested positive for COVID-19. Also, you must notify your instructor(s) so they can assist you as appropriate.

NOTE: Only YC Contact Tracing has the authority to release students or staff from isolation. Our team will follow-up with impacted students as appropriate to ask questions to aid in contact tracing efforts.
