MCC has legal partnership agreements with our clinical affiliates that ​mandates our students comply with agency clinical requirements to participate in clinical experiences at their facilities. In addition to clinical compliance documentation that we already collect, all students must submit documentation of receiving the COVID-19 and annual influenza vaccinations or have approved exemptions on file with the MCC Nursing Department. Participation in clinical is a required component of nursing courses.

Please note that exemptions are ​not accepted at all clinical facilities. Students who submit an exemption are at risk for not being able to complete the course requirements if not allowed to participate in clinical experiences. If the clinical objectives cannot be met successfully, students will not be able to receive a passing grade in the course and thus, will not progress in the Nursing Program.

Students on the course re-entry waitlists must have either the vaccination documentation or an approved exemption on file to accept a seat in upcoming semesters.
