With monkeypox being declared a health emergency by the State of Illinois, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has issued recommended general precautions.
The College will be a full participant in any coordinating discussions that the DuPage County Health Department or other relevant governmental agencies may convene pertaining to a response to monkeypox. We did this as part of our response to the COVID-19 pandemic as well.
With respect to students, reporting and follow up guidance to students will be handled by the Dean of Student Affairs Office. Any accommodations needed by the student as a result of the diagnosis will be handled through the Center for Access and Accommodations.
