Residential Guest Policy

Please see the guest policy for the latest information.

Face Coverings Required in Housing & Dining Facilities

Face coverings (masks) are required at all times on CCA's campus, including in Residential shared spaces (common areas, lobby, hallways, elevators) and in Makers Cafe. Face coverings can be removed only while eating and drinking. It is recommended that you maintain social distancing while eating indoors or consider finding space to eat outdoors when space and weather allow. No eating or drinking in non-dining shared common lounges is permitted at this time. The face covering policy will remain in effect until January 5th, 2023 (see below).

Update for On-campus Mask Requirement for Spring 2023

Effective January 5, 2023, the college will no longer have an on-campus mask requirement. Well-fitting non-vented N95, KN95, or KF94 respirators are still highly recommended, but we have decided to align with local and state guidelines around mask wearing in our community. This applies to both vaccinated and non-vaccinated community members. As always, please reach out to Access and Disability Services (access@cca.edu)  with any accommodation requests. 

What is it like to live on campus?

Our team of front desk attendants and live on professional staff support students in the halls by building community through programming and events. We refer residents to self-report COVID-19 to the COVID Response team., and ensure they have the resources and support they need during this time. ResEd provides various living and learning programming throughout the year, while also following local health and safety protocols such as face coverings, and proper hand washing.

• Makers Cafe is open to all CCA community members and their guests
• Advanced online ordering, grab and go options, outdoor dining and indoor seating
