The following pertains to Carleton College students participating in Center for Community and Civic Engagement (CCCE) sponsored activities including volunteering, community-based work study, and academic civic engagement.
- Baseline assumptions
- Carleton students are vaccinated.
- Carleton students are wearing face coverings indoors when off campus.
- Close contact means 15 minutes within 6 feet.
- N95/KN95/KF94 masks are available to students in the CCCE.
- Carleton students can volunteer/work in the community independent of current case rates. (The college will revisit this if we see a new variant or a large spike.)
- To determine the current level, please check Rice County data from COVID Act Now here.
- If and when positive COVID cases arise in community partner settings, community partners are responsible for determining their own COVID quarantine and isolation policies. We recommend the most up-to-date CDC guidelines as a resource, if an organization does not have its own policy.
- Level 1: If the case rate is below 175 cases per 100,000 weekly in Rice County AND Carleton is not requiring masking on campus:
- Masks are recommended but not required for Carleton students entering indoor settings where there is close contact.
- Level 2: If the case rate is above 175 per 100,000 weekly in Rice County OR Carleton is requiring masking on campus:
- Carleton students may enter indoor settings with close contact if wearing an N95/KN95/KF94 masks that protect the wearer.
