Seminole State said for the new academic year it will follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The college strongly encourages employees and students to get vaccinated. For those who are not, they must follow the school’s mask policy which asks those who are not vaccinated or fully vaccinated to wear a face-covering when inside campus buildings.
Masks are not required outside but are recommended for those who haven’t received a shot, especially when attending crowded events or activities, according to its website. Some programs with accreditation or licensing standards or which involve clinical settings may have different mask requirements, the college notes.
For students who do not feel comfortable returning to campus, the college is offering remote classes, a virtual learning option and a hybrid experience.
