Campus Shifts to "Mask-friendly Policy"
Starting Monday, February 28, Otero College will shift to a "mask-friendly policy". Mask friendly means that no one is required to wear a face-covering but anyone can and should feel comfortable in doing so. Faculty still have the prerogative to require face-coverings in their classrooms. Otero College does reserve the right to modify these plans based on the status of COVID transmission rates and other factors.
COVID Community Symptom Testing:
Starting in May 2022, the COVID-19 community testing sites located in Crowley and Otero Counties will be as follows:
- Crowley County
