Check your Pierce College mail for one from No-Reply@Cleared4.com for your personal link. If you are a student or faculty member who is 100% online and does not come to campus, you are exempt from these protocols.
IF YOUR LINK FROM NO-REPLY@CLEARED4.COM STOPPED WORKING, it was to be reset on Friday, Oct. 15 to give you more time. Try your link again then to set up your profile.
Still need help with your unique link? Please email covid19info@PierceCollege.edu
Don't delay. Use your personal link to:
1) Create a profile with Biocept/Cleared4
2) Upload your Vaccination info and health insurance info, if you have it.
3) Make a reservation for your baseline COVID test on campus. Biocept is on campus Mondays and Tuesdays.
4) Take the COVID test with Biocept on campus.
Are you 100% online? YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO ANY OF THIS FOR:
Students who are 100% online only and do not plan to come to campus to take classes, use services, or attend events, are exempt from the new procedures.
Faculty that are fully online are not required to do base testing until such time they plan to enter the campus.
Faculty that are fully online and have an exemption do not need to do weekly testing unless entering campus facilities.
Our new vendor, Biocept, took over the COVID-19 Testing and Screening operations at Pierce College (replacing the LAPCSafeApp and self-check-in).
Only campus visitors will still use the link to the district self-check link at http://laccd.edu/About/News/Pages/Self-Check-Survey-Landing.aspx
DIRECTIONS:
First, Biocept, under the name Cleared4, will text and/or email each student and employee with a unique link from no-reply@cleared4.com, and at that time you need to create a new profile in their database.
By now everyone should have received the Cleared4 message. If not, please contact the Cleared4 Help Desk by email to covidcolleges@biocept.com.
Then make a reservation to come and get tested on campus. The test is gentle and quick.
Next, every student and employee needs to be tested for COVID-19 once to create a baseline. Beginning Sept. 20, Biocept will be on campus in the North Gym 5600 two days a week to conduct this testing:
Mondays from 8 a.m.-4 p.m., and
Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
In the text and/or email Biocept/Cleared4work sends, after you complete your profile, scroll down and click on “Book On-site Covid Test,” choose Pierce NGym5600, and set up your baseline screening choosing from the available times that pop up.
· No later than Nov. 3 at 5 pm for employees and Nov. 19 at 5 pm for students, everyone except those attending or teaching classes 100% online must:
Ø Create a profile account with the District’s official testing vendor, Biocept/Cleared4
Ø Upload your vaccination information (if you are vaccinated)
Ø Students, if you don't have health insurance, write that on a piece of paper with your name and take a photo of it; upload to your profile.
Ø Get a free COVID-19 test with the vendor
Ø OR submit a medical or religious exemption request approved by the District—you must allow at least two days for processing
Ø NOTE: ALL persons granted an exemption must be tested weekly by the District’s official testing vendor as a condition of employment
Finally, everyone will get reminders from Cleared4 with a link to complete the quick self-health check required every day before coming on campus. Once cleared, a digital Clear Pass is issued, and you can show it to gain entry to any indoor campus building or facility, including all of the LACCD campuses and the district office.
Emails have gone out to all students and employees from the district office that describe these procedures and the medical or religious waivers in more detail. They introduce the revised policy, Board Policy 2900, the LACCD Board of Trustees put in place Sept. 1, 2021, what we need to do, and the timeline we need to meet to comply.
Vaccination and Testing Requirements
As a condition to physically accessing any District building, classroom, library, gymnasium, facility, or other indoor setting, all District students shall present proof that they have been fully vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) unless exempt for medical or religious reasons.
Employees and students who are granted a medical or religious exemption shall undergo regular testing for COVID-19 infection and shall produce proof of negative COVID-19 test results.
Find the full student information here: Vaccine and Testing Requirements for all LACCD Students
Students and employees are now required to use these procedures as a condition of their status as students and/or employees.
Students who cannot meet the deadlines to complete all required steps must contact the Office of Student Services as soon as possible.
Reminder, masks are required indoors at all LACCD colleges and facilities.
Clarifications on our new system are continuing to come out via email from the district office, so please check your email. Thank you for helping us all stay safe and healthy at Pierce College. |
