COVID-19 and Other Public Health Issues

With elimination of the state level public health emergency related to SARS-CoV2 and the federal government’s plan to let the coronavirus public health emergency expire soon, NWCCU encourages its member institutions to continue to be vigilant about public health issues.

The safety of our member institutions, ALOs, volunteer Commissioners and Evaluators, and staff is of utmost importance. We will continue to monitor the Centers for Disease Control and state and county public health departments regarding the situation with the coronavirus and other public health challenges, and will alert our community of stakeholders and constituents, as needed.

Please check this webpage from time to time for the latest information.

Please send us an email at Info@NWCCU.org if you need additional information.

Thank you and please stay safe and healthy.
