SVC has implemented a simple online procedure to allow students to make the attestation that they are fully vaccinated or request an exemption. Students will self-enter information obtained from their vaccination card, including the type of vaccination and the dates the doses of the COVID-19 vaccine were administered. Skagit Valley College will require students who plan to come to campus for in-person classes and/or services to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or request an exemption based on medical or religious reasons. Students who are enrolled 100% online and do not need to come to a college site to participate in an activity are not required to be vaccinated. Individuals are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the second Moderna or Pfizer dose, or two weeks after receiving the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine. In addition to vaccination requirements, we will continue to require everyone to wear face coverings at all times inside all college buildings at each of our campuses and centers regardless of vaccination status. Regardless of vaccination status, all are welcome at SVC and the college will continue to offer online, hybrid, and in-person options for instruction and services. A list of vaccination sites and available appointments is found at https://vaccinelocator.doh.wa.gov.

Supporting a Healthy SVC Community As members of a global community, it is important to note that although COVID-19 started in China, having Chinese ancestry – or any other ancestry – does not place a person at higher risk for this illness. Further, while some individuals may choose to wear a mask, we should not assume that person is sick, as there are medical, cultural, and social reasons for doing so. We must take care of ourselves as individuals and as a college community by supporting SVC’s Guiding Principles of Respect, Integrity, Open and Honest Communication, Collaboration, and Compassion. Thank you for supporting a healthy SVC community for everyone. Frequently Asked Questions About COVID-19 What is coronavirus? How does it spread? How can I help prevent the spread of coronavirus?
