Masks are now optional, but encouraged

Masks in most indoor settings at Seattle Colleges will be “optional but encouraged.” If public health conditions change, face-covering requirements will be reassessed.   

 Masks will continue to be required in some instances, including but not limited to:   

  • Clinical and other health-care settings and educational programs (dental hygiene, respiratory care, nursing, EMT, NA-C, etc.).   
  • For those who test positive and are returning to campus after isolation at home.  
  • For those who have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.   

Please contact healthandsafety@seattlecolleges.edu immediately to report a positive test, exposure, or symptoms. More information is available about what to do when someone is sick with COVID-19. You may also report your positive test online. 

People in our Seattle Colleges community may need or choose to wear—or not wear—a mask for a wide range of reasons. Please respect the choices others make for their own health, safety, or comfort.  


Daily Wellness Screening

If you are coming to campus, you can complete the optional online Daily Wellness Screening Form, but it is no longer required as of November 1, 2022. Use this resource to receive instant, automated guidance for concerns about COVID-19 symptoms, exposure, and testing results. If you have recently reported a positive COVID-19 test, you may also use the Daily Wellness Screening Form to determine when it is safe to return to campus.

If you have tested positive for COVID-19, report your positive test and do not come to campus. This form is only for self-reporting positive cases of COVID-19. After completing the form, you will receive detailed instructions in an automated message to your Seattle Colleges email.
