As of Jun 1, 2022, NCTC will transition the campus pandemic safety protocols back to Normal Operations. This change adheres to evolving guidelines produced by the CDC and state mandates. With this transition, we look forward to the return of pre-pandemic operational norms in class formats, student life, and other college traditions. At this time all COVID protocols have been lifted. You no longer need to inform the Office of Emergency Management if you are presenting symptoms, or tested positive for COVID. NCTC strongly encourages you to remain vigilant of signs and symptoms of COVID, and to keep with the practice of “If You’re Sick, Stay Home”.
