Masks Required On All Campuses Beginning January 8

The Salt Lake County Health Department today issued a public health order requiring everyone in Salt Lake County, regardless of vaccination status or past COVID-19 infection, to wear a proper mask when indoors and when queueing outdoors in public. Salt Lake Community College, in accordance with this order, will require the use of face coverings starting January 8 through 5 p.m. on February 7. 


Masks should fit snugly and cover both the nose and mouth, and if possible, high-quality masks, such as KN95s, should be used rather than cloth masks. However, cloth masks are acceptable if no other options are available. If you need a mask while at the college, they are available on all campuses at the information/front desk. They are also available at Faculty Support Centers and the Admissions Hub. More information on face coverings can be found on SLCC’s COVID-19 webpage.


Salt Lake County also issued several exemptions to the order, including for those with medical conditions or disabilities that prevent wearing a mask. Exemptions to the mask mandate for students must be issued through SLCC’s Disability Resource Center (DRC). If you are a student and need an exemption, please contact the DRC at 801-957-4659. Employees needing an exemption must contact Carol Odeleye in Human Resources at 801-957-4722.


With COVID-19 cases exploding in Utah, getting vaccinated and wearing a mask while in public are the two best things we can do to prevent severe illness for ourselves and others. We appreciate your cooperation with this order and your commitment to keeping our campus safe and well.
