Effective January 1, 2023, masks are optional in all MC locations.

Effective June 30, 2023, all MC campus vaccination and testing centers are closed.

Vaccination is not required for students, employees, contractors, and visitors to be present on campus. However, students and employees participating in clinicals, externships, internships or other programs at off-campus locations are subject to the requirements of the off-campus site and may be required to provide proof of vaccination. 

MC students, employees, and visitors are expected to follow these guidelines:

  • If you are sick, stay at home. Employees should contact their immediate supervisor to make them aware and to get situational telework approval.
  • Continue to use frequent and proper handwashing and hand hygiene.
  • You should fill out the health assessment daily before you come to work or school.
  • Practice social distancing as much as possible.

  • If you receive positive COVID-19 test results, there is a 5-day quarantine period, regardless of vaccination status. Submit a laboratory PCR test result or medical provider’s diagnosis to PublicHealth@montgomerycollege.edu.
  • Employees both on-site or remote must communicate with their supervisor to coordinate schedules and leave use of Time Off. Note that Covid-19 Testing Time Off is no longer available now that testing is not required.

If You Are Exposed to Someone with COVID-19

Montgomery College COVID-19 Statement of Responsibilities

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Montgomery College has prioritized the health and safety of its students and employees above all else. The College continues to follow all applicable federal, state and county guidelines and has taken steps to implement substantial precautions, including, but not limited to, increased cleaning, use of facial coverings, use of daily COVID-19 self-assessment, contract tracing and isolating/quarantining when required, in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. However, maintaining a safe campus is a shared responsibility.  By entering onto any of the College’s campuses or leased spaces, students agree to abide by all applicable College safety guidelines and protocols related to COVID-19. Failure to comply with these safety measures may result in the denial of access to the College’s campuses or leased spaces, denial of services, and/or the denial of participation in any College events, programs or activities, including classroom participation, and may result in a referral to a campus dean of student development for potential disciplinary action under the Student Code of Conduct.

Despite the safety measures that have been implemented, it is impossible for the College to fully mitigate the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 or any other communicable diseases, and students must assess and accept the risks of illness or injury for themselves. Students understand and agree that by attending in-person classes, engaging in any College services or activities, or otherwise entering onto the College’s campuses or leased spaces, they assume all risks attendant thereto, including the risk of contracting COVID-19 or any other communicable diseases.

As the state of medical knowledge related to COVID-19 continues to evolve, guidelines and protocols to reduce the spread of COVID-19 may change.  As such, students are responsible for continuing to monitor their College email for any updates, as well as this page and the HRSTM COVID-19 page
