COVID-19

Effective 1/10/2022

In the spring 2022 semester, State Tech will continue with Scenario 1. State Tech will not limit group activities or require social distancing but reserves the right to do so. State Tech recommends but will not require vaccination on campus. The college will no longer be monitoring COVID-19 cases unless we should have to return to Scenario 3. The College will follow the absentee policy for all absences. Students should respect classroom rules established by the instructor.

Monitor Your Health Daily

State Tech campus community members (employees, students, and visitors) are expected to take proactive steps to monitor their personal health, stay home if they are feeling unwell, and protect the safety of our entire campus community.

Response Scenarios

We are currently in Scenario 1 (Effective 7/19/2021).
