No, as of February 18, 2022 masks are optional on campus.

If you are fully vaccinated, and you have no symptoms, you will not be required to quarantine.

If you are not fully vaccinated, it is imperative that you isolate if you think you have been exposed, whether you have symptoms or not.  Immediately call Sarah Patterson, Dean of Student Services (575-492-2575 or sedelbrock@nmjc.edu), to help assess the next steps, the level of exposure, etc.

If you need to quarantine at home, your professors will work with you. Sarah Patterson will contact your instructors to verify that you are absent due to exposure. You must contact your instructors, also, so they can give you assignments while you isolate, to keep you up-to-date in class.

If you are not sure if you have been exposed, call Sarah Patterson, to help assess your level of exposure.

Please remember, if you feel sick in any way, STAY HOME!
