Welcome to Campus | Triton College

We look forward to seeing you at Triton College this semester! Be sure to read these important reminders before coming to campus:

Important Reminders:

Have you uploaded your vaccination card?

If not, remember to test weekly and upload your results! All students and employees need to provide proof of being fully vaccinated or take weekly COVID-19 testing. This is a State of Illinois mandate for everyone attending in-person classes or working on campus.

Triton is enforcing this mandate regularly throughout the semester because this is an ongoing requirement.

Upload Your Vaccination Card

Upload Test Results Every Week

Check your Triton email for your personal link from CLEARED4 and follow instructions on the screen. If you need help, email cleared4@triton.edu.

You can also email your vaccination card to cleared4@triton.edu.

* Lost your vaccination card? The Illinois Department of Public Health allows Illinois residents to access their vaccination records through the Vax Verify Portal.

If you don’t upload your vaccination card, you need to test every week.

In response to the State of Illinois Executive Order 2021-20, all higher education students and staff must have proof of full vaccination or undergo weekly testing. Here are some FAQs to support you in meeting this requirement. If you have other questions, please email covid19@triton.edu.

Q. When do I need to get vaccinated by?
As required by the State of Illinois Executive Order 2021-20, individuals who are fully vaccinated do not need to undergo weekly testing. An individual is “fully vaccinated” against COVID-19 two weeks after receiving the second dose in a two-dose series of a vaccine, or two weeks after receiving a single dose vaccine.

If you do not provide proof of full vaccination, you must be tested for COVID-19 once a week. Students who are not vaccinated and do not undergo weekly testing are not permitted on campus beginning November 1.

Q. How do I provide proof of my vaccination?
Please see the Cleared4 Information section below.

Q. Can I take the weekly test somewhere other than Triton?
You can choose to have weekly testing anywhere, off or on campus, but you will need to upload the results of your weekly testing to the Cleared4 platform each week.

Q. Do I have to take the weekly test before coming to work?
No. You can take your weekly test at any time during the week.

Q. Where can I get vaccinated?
Vaccinations are available at area pharmacies and other community clinic sites. You can find a vaccine location near you at this website: https://www.vaccines.gov/search/.

Q. What if I am unable to be vaccinated?
Anyone unable to be vaccinated is still required to undergo weekly testing.

Q. What should I do if I test positive for COVID-19?
Students should immediately contact the Director of Health Services, Laura Hill, at laurahill@triton.edu. Staff will reach out to you to provide academic support as you remain off-campus.

Q. Are we required to use Cleared4 every day?
Yes, the “Cleared4: Daily symptom checker” is required for all students each day they are on campus.
