Coming to campus for in-person classes or services?
A COVID-19 VACCINATION IS REQUIRED for students attending in-person classes for Spring 2022 and for anyone coming to campus for in-person services.
Students registering for on-campus courses for the Spring 2022 semester must show proof of vaccination before they will be able to register for in-person courses or come to our campuses for in-person services.
Students who are ready to comply with this mandate can submit proof they are fully vaccinated right now: Submit proof of COVID-19 vaccination. This link will only work if you are currently signed into your NSCC Gmail account.
Students in some Health Professions programs, who previously complied with their program specific COVID-19 vaccination mandates in the Fall 2021 semester, are not required to resubmit their proof of vaccination for Spring 2022 semester. The specific exempt programs are: Medical Assisting, Nurse Education, NSCC RN to Salem State University BSN, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Physical Therapist Assistant, Practical Nursing, Radiologic Technology, Respiratory Care and Surgical Technology.
Registration for Spring 2022 will open on November 6, 2021.
NSCC will continue to offer courses for the Spring 2022 semester in online and video-conference
formats. Students can register for these courses without proof of their COVID-19 vaccination
status.
Massachusetts Statewide Policy
The Massachusetts Community Colleges have prioritized the health and safety of our communities while also recognizing that many of our students have been disproportionally impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. While a significant number of students, faculty, and staff are already vaccinated or are in the process of becoming vaccinated, the fifteen colleges are seeking to increase the health and safety of the learning and working environment in light of the ongoing public health concerns and current guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
