LATEST UPDATES:

LTCC provides free COVID PCR testing every Tuesday from 8am-1:45pm in the Aspen Room, located in the library building on campus. This free testing is for all staff and faculty and their family members, and all registered LTCC students. Please bring a filled-out COVID Patient Test Request Form (PDF) with you when you arrive for testing.

LTCC also has free rapid home tests available for all staff and students. Supplies of these are limited - please request only what you need. Tests can be picked up either in the Human Resources Office located in the Main Building Commons, or from the office of Maryellen Sanchez, executive assistant to the VP of Administrative Services, located in the Fiscal Services Office just off of the Commons.

LTCC actively supports and continues to maintain a mask-friendly culture on campus. Those who choose to continue masking are encouraged and supported in doing so. A mask-friendly culture includes showing understanding and respect for those who continue to mask to protect themselves and their loved ones. Free surgical masks are readily available around campus for anyone who wishes one, including at the current front desk check-in in the library building.
