Clark College during COVID-19

Clark College continues to respond to evolving guidance from state and local health authorities regarding COVID-19. Check this page regularly for up-to-date information.  

Beginning in the 2022 winter term, Clark College will become a fully vaccinated campus. Learn what that means for students on the Student Vaccination web page.

Winter at Clark College – what you need to know 

• The college is offering a wide array of classes in online, in-person, and hybrid (a mix of online and in-person) formats. 
• In the 2022 winter term, Clark College will become a fully vaccinated campus. Learn more on our Student Vaccination page. 
• Everyone on campus must wear an appropriate face covering and observe social distancing requirements, which are 3 feet in most circumstances.  
• Everyone coming to campus must complete an online health screening before each visit. Learn more on our Visiting Campus page.
• As a Washington state institution, all Clark College employees are fully vaccinated or have an approved exemption on file with the college. This includes part-time, temporary, and student employees. It applies to all employees, whether they are working remotely or on-site. 
• During winter term, students can access most services—including Cannell Library—either virtually or in-person. Some in-person services may have limited hours or availabilty.
• Many student activities—including athletics, music practice, and club events—have returned to in-person formats, though with added safety precautions in place to protect everyone’s health. 
• Child and Family Studies (child care) remains open in a limited capacity.

These decisions comply with Gov. Jay Inslee's proclamation covering how higher education should operate. College leadership has used that guidance, as well as input from local public health authorities, to develop the college’s Covid-19 Exposure Control, Mitigation and Recovery Plan.
