Illinois’ Governor requires higher education students who are on campus regularly to either be vaccinated against COVID-19 or to complete a weekly COVID-19 test. The college will follow prescribed measures to ensure the order is followed. 

You can avoid weekly tests if you are vaccinated. Already vaccinated? Please provide your proof of vaccination if you have not already done so.
