COVID-19 FAQ

The college has multiple mitigation factors in place to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus, including:

Outfitting the entire institution with bipolar ionization units equipped with technology that creates and releases ions into the airstream through the college's existing HVAC systems. When the ions disperse, they seek out and form bonds with particles in the air, thus creating a snowball effect, in which the particles become clustered and much easier for the filtration systems to bond to. The ionization process creates better indoor air quality and provides a safer learning environment for all of us.

The college continues to disinfect all classrooms and heavy traffic areas throughout the day and will continue to do so for the remainder of the year. The college is also considering contracting with a third-party custodial company to cover vacant positions that have remained unfilled for some time to ensure cleanliness and disinfection continue.
