We are dedicated to the health and safety of students, faculty and staff. CNC has a Communicable Disease Plan to address the college’s response to illnesses including COVID-19. This plan is consistent with the Government of British Columbia’s return to campus guidelines.
Current Guidelines
- Masks are recommended in public areas on campus;
- Please have careful social contact and maintain physical distancing; and
- If you are sick, stay home and get tested.
Campus Access
For anyone visiting a campus, please:
- Do not enter any of our campuses if you have symptoms including fever, cough or shortness of breath. Go home, self-isolate and seek medical advice. You can access the COVID-19 self-assessment tool at bc.thrive.health/covid19app or download the BC COVID-19 App on a mobile device; and
- Clean your hands often with soap and warm water for 20 seconds or using alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Face Masks
