At this point, NLC’s regulations can be summarized in a few clear points:
- If you feel unwell, do NOT come to campus. This rule is always applicable, whether you believe your illness to be COVID-19, a simple cold, or something else.
- We strongly advise all staff and students to be fully vaccinated, including boosters as needed/available.
