EICC Travel Guidelines: Summer 2021/Fall 2021
The following guidelines are effective July 1, 2021.
The following are general guidelines for EICC employees for travel as we work to stop the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus).
Employees traveling on college business are required to comply with all college COVID protocols including wearing masks for those that are unvaccinated.
College-Sponsored Domestic Travel
- EICC-sponsored domestic essential travel, including conferences for training or meetings will require cabinet level administrative approval. Out-of-State (outside of our border communities) continues to require Chancellor’s approval. Employees should work with their supervisor to complete the travel requests in a timely manner prior to registering for conferences or booking any travel. Essential travel is defined as travel that is essential to the operation of the college; that no alternative method of convening is possible; and that the health and safety of EICC employees will be appropriately managed. Employees are encouraged to review travel guidance provided on the CDC website.
Personal Domestic Travel
- No restrictions at this time. However, employees traveling are encouraged to review the CDC’s latest guidance for travelers.
College-Sponsored International Travel
- International travel with or without students is suspended until further notice.
- Job applicant travel for those who reside outside the US is suspended until further notice. Electronic means of communication (phone, video conferencing, etc.) should be used as an alternative. Hiring managers with questions regarding the arrangement of alternative interview means for international job applicants should contact the Human Resources Department.
Personal International Travel
- Employees who travel internationally are required to follow procedures recommended by the CDC. Employees planning for international travel should speak to their supervisor and
Human Resources. Current procedures are as follows:
Effective July 1, 2021
For Fully Vaccinated Individuals:
After travel:
- Get tested with a viral test 3-5 days after travel. You are not required to quarantine off campus while awaiting these results.

Employees most confer with Human Resources regarding a return to work date.

- Even if you test negative, stay home and self-quarantine for the full 7 days.
