CLINICAL SITE REQUIREMENTS

This paragraph applies only to employees who serve students at clinical affiliates or off-site facilities. Clinical affiliates and/or off-site facilities may require employees participating in clinical/off site activities to complete a criminal background check, drug screening, and provide proof of current immunization status, health status, and CPR certification. Immunizations may include full vaccination for COVID-19 as a condition for entry to the facility, and proof of immunization is considered a minimum qualification for positions that require employees to supervise students being educated at such facilities. Such employees are required to present verification of current or up-to-date immunizations (including for COVID-19 for employees hired after September 1, 2021), as required by the facility, and current CPR status, as required by the facility, to their supervisor annually. Employees who serve students at clinical affiliates or off-site facilities and who are hired on or after September 1, 2021, are required to provide proof of full vaccination for COVID-19 on their first day of employment as a condition to their employment, except where they have a qualifying medical condition or sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance that is contrary to receiving the vaccine. Medical or religious exemptions are determined by the off-site facilities and not Stanly Community College unless the off-site facility has specifically designated the College as responsible for that decision. Decisions for exemptions must be complete within a six-month probationary period or at the discretion of the off-site facilities. Full-time faculty who was continuously employed in the same position prior to September 1, 2021, are not required to provide proof of full vaccination for COVID-19 and their job duties may be modified if they are denied entry to a facility due to vaccination status. Part-time employees whose contract is expired after September 1, 2021, and who apply for rehire will be required to meet the vaccination requirements of the clinical or off-site facilities if the position into which they are hired requires them to supervise students being educated at such facilities.
