Walla Walla Community College continues to regularly communicate with various state and county officials to determine what policies and precautions are necessary to protect our students and employees from contracting or spreading COVID-19.

Keeping WWCC Safe

  • Wear a face covering indoors.
  • Cover coughs and sneezes.
  • Avoid touching your face.
  • Clean your hands often.
