If you have selected to return to campus from November 30- December 18.

Students must test negative for COVID-19 prior to returning to campus. Test results need to be emailed here: Returndocuments@miccommunity.net
- If a student has not received a negative COVID-19 test result by November 30, they will participate in distance learning until they are able to submit their test result. Once test results are received, the student’s advisor will reach out to the student/family to schedule a return to campus time.
- Students and families are responsible for obtaining medication refills prior to return. Students should return to campus with a filled pillbox.
- MICC is not allowing visitors during this time. Visitors/family members will be asked to refrain from visiting their student or students going home during these three weeks.
- If you need to pick up your student for any reason, they will not be allowed to return to campus and can participate in distance learning for the remainder of the semester.

- Participants will be encouraged to socialize with a reduced group of roommates and peers
- Daily symptom monitoring
- Wear a mask even in private social settings and wear a mask during times when unable to keep at least 6 feet between people who don’t live in the same household/apartment

How will my student know if their class is virtual or not?
If a student has a question on if a class if virtual or not the first place they should check is their student calendar.
By clicking on the calendar invite for a particular class they will be able to see the room assignment. If the course lists the room as “virtual” they should use the google link in the calendar to attend that course. If it lists a room (Like A, B, C/D) that course is in person. Classes may adjust week by week. Students should only reach out to instructors after they have checked their calendar.
How you can help?
- Timely COVID-19 test after 11/26/2020 to receive results prior to returning to break
-
MICC has supplied apartments with hotspots but due to the expanded use we will be experiencing during this period any additional resources are welcome. If your student or family has a hotspot, please send it back to campus with them if possible.
- If you experience connection problems during a class please ensure all devices are not connected to the apartment hotspot.
- The student should pack technology/chargers to participate in virtual learning.
- Check in with your student via phone calls/emails/virtual meetings
Reminder: Students will be required provide an additional negative test for COVID-19 prior to returning to campus post Winter Break on January 10, 2021. More information to come in future communications.
