Preparedness

We will continue to update this site with new COVID-19 policies and procedures and let a focus on the health, safety and well-being of our community guide all of our decision-making.

We thank all TC community members for their cooperation and commitment to following the policies detailed on this website. These policies are crucial to maintain as part of the College's plan to protect our campus and extended communities against the spread of COVID-19.

What You Need to Know

As of March 21, 2023

  • In accordance with the NYC Health Advisory on the tripledemic, TC strongly recommends all community members wear a high quality surgical mask when gathered indoors or at crowded outdoor events. Read updates to Mask Mindful guidelines here.
  • TC strongly recommends all community members get tested (rapid or PCR) for COVID-19 by the start of the Spring 2023 semester, January 17.
  • TC strongly recommends community members get a flu shot and an additional COVID-19 booster, if you are eligible.
  • If you feel sick at any point during the semester, DO NOT COME TO CAMPUS. Please remain home until you are feeling well.
  • If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 at any point during the semester, please get tested. If you test negative, you may return to campus when you are feeling better. If you test positive, complete the Health Screening form to report your results.
  • Once you have been infected with COVID-19, you may continue to test positive even after your infection has cleared. Please read further guidelines about this circumstance here.
  • Flights originating in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) and the Macau SAR, continue to face more stringent travel restrictions due to COVID spikes in that region. If you are traveling from this region and these restrictions will delay your return to campus for class or work, please contact returntocampus@tc.edu to discuss your situation.

COVID-19 Working Group

In spring 2020, President Bailey announced the formation of a working group charged with evaluating and putting forth recommendations on  campus health and safety measures in response to COVID-19. The working group’s analysis and recommendations are informed by state and local health and safety guidelines, and by the group’s collective knowledge of the distinct operations and needs of the Teachers College community.  

The College extends its gratitude to the members of the working group. Their dedication and commitment continue to make it possible for the College to operate safely on campus.
