COVID Response

Update: August 12, 2021

Starting this fall, the Maine Community College System (MCCS) will require all students attending classes in person to be vaccinated against COVID-19, due to the recent surge in cases attributed to the delta variant.

The MCCS Board of Trustees unanimously approved the updated COVID safety protocol on Thursday.

Update: July 29, 2021

While EMCC is open, we are asking that everyone on campus wear a mask regardless of vaccination status. Resident students are required to get the vaccine, as are students in particular medical fields with clinical experiences.

Please contact life@emcc.edu with any questions.

CARES Funding

APPLICATION for CARE Act Funds:

If you get questions from students please direct them to MyEMCC/Financial Aid/Federal CARES Act Application”. to apply.

It is very important to access this application through MyEMCC so it will be pre-populated with your student data.

The Federal CARES Act provides financial assistance to EMCC students who incurred expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to the coronavirus.
