LCCC COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Employee FAQ

What can I expect regarding guidance for returning to campus for Summer/Fall 2021?

Employees will begin to transition back to campus from their remote work environments during the Summer semester and will return fully to campus for the Fall 2021 semester. Employees, students and guests will be required to wear a face mask/covering and practice social distancing when possible. To review the complete Summer/Fall R2B Plan and to see area specific Operation Plans, employees should visit the R2B portal in myLCCC.

Will all services and functions be available for the Fall semester?

LCCC plans to be fully open for in-person, on-campus services for the Fall 2021 semester. Some areas may have alternate hours to accommodate student/community needs and to address social distancing. Please visit lccc.wy.edu for current hours of operation.

As an LCCC employee am I eligible to get a vaccine?

As part of the Cheyenne-Laramie County Health Department vaccination plan, all LCCC employees are eligible to receive the vaccination with the start of Phase 1c. LCCC will not require employees to get the vaccination. If an employee is interested in being vaccinated, they should visit the Cheyenne-Laramie County Health Department webpage to find available vaccine locations.

I have a known health condition that aligns with one or more of the symptoms on the daily health screening app. How do I handle this?

Employees that are not feeling well due to COVID-19 related symptoms, should contact Melissa Dishman in Human Resources for more information. If an employee needs to miss work due to not feeling well, they should use their available sick leave.

I am presenting symptoms and would like to be tested, what are my next steps?

Numerous locations in Laramie County can assist you with being tested. You are encouraged to contact Melissa Dishman in Human Resources, your primary care provider or visit the Cheyenne-Laramie County Health Department webpage for more information.

What steps do I take if I need to self-quarantine or am diagnosed with COVID-19?

If an employee is diagnosed with COVID-19 or needs to self-quarantine due to exposure to COVID-19, they should contact Melissa Dishman in Human Resources for additional guidance.

I am not sure how to talk to others about wearing a face covering or social distancing. Are there tools available to help me?

LCCC understands that these are difficult conversations to have and we appreciate that you want to help create a safe environment for everyone on campus. First, we ask that you approach these conversations with an understanding that we all are adjusting to this new campus environment and we are all likely to make mistakes. Employees are encouraged to participate in the COVID Conversation Training which is available in the Return to Business (R2B) app in myLCCC.

How will we determine if we need to move entirely online during the semester?

A few factors will drive this decision, we will be monitoring our student and employee populations and watching for any significant surges in active and positive cases. We will also monitor the ability of our local healthcare facilities to provide treatment and care to those diagnosed with COVID-19.
