Reporting Suspected COVID-19 Cases

Students, if you suspect you have COVID-19, or have been exposed to someone who has COVID-19, please complete this form and notify your instructors in Canvas that your exposure may affect you and your classwork.

SF faculty and staff who have been told that a student has been exposed to COVID-19 should report it immediately to Student Affairs.

If an SF faculty or staff member (including TempForce) believes they have COVID-19 or have been exposed to someone who has COVID-19 they should immediately notify Human Resources.

Construction contractors who believe they have COVID-19 or have been exposed to someone who has COVID-19 should immediately notify Facilities Services.

All students, faculty and staff are requested to perform a daily self-assessment before coming to any SF property and throughout the day to monitor for symptoms. They are required to practice physical distancing of at least 6 feet, wear a cloth face covering unless you are able to be in an office space by yourself, and that for the most complete and up-to-date information, follow all CDC recommendations.

Santa Fe College has made many changes to our operations based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Florida Department of Health, and local emergency management agencies. These changes are designed to enhance safety at the college and include:

  • Wearing cloth face coverings/masks
  • Practicing physical distancing
  • Conducting all meetings and more classes remotely*
  • Scheduling on-campus appointments in advance

*Students and employees can use their SFID to utilize Zoom and Microsoft Teams, the online conferencing platforms supported by the college. 

You are encouraged to read more about new college safety protocols, including what to do if you or someone you've been in contact with has COVID-19. 

Support for our Students and Employees

The college has added new ways to take a class, so everyone can find a format that they are comfortable with. But even though classes are getting back to normal, COVID-19 has presented many of us with personal challenges. Students experiencing heightened anxiety can reach out to the SF Counseling Center. The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs is also available to help students who need to self-quarantine and are concerned about how that will affect their classes. Faculty and staff are encouraged to use the Employee Assistance Plan (EAP), and to talk to Human Resources about self-quarantine or any concerns regarding leave and/or absences. 

As always, our SF Police Department is open 24/7, and is available to provide support and/or guidance to the SF community during non-business hours.
