COVID-19 Statement
Health Sciences & Nursing Programs
The health and safety of our Tarrant County College District (TCCD) community are responsibilities that we all share.
TCCD does not require the COVID-19 vaccine to access TCCD properties or to participate in campus activities.
Our Clinical Partners
However, TCCD’s partners may require vaccination for students enrolled in technical programs that require the fulfillment of on-site practicum/clinical coursework at one of our partnering facilities.
Students in technical programs with a practicum/clinical component may be required by the partnering facility to have the vaccine to complete the practicum/clinical requirement at the partnering facility. Several hospitals require technical program students to be fully immunized against COVID-19 before arrival at the facilities.
As a result, practicum/clinical sites for unvaccinated students may be limited; therefore, graduation may be delayed if students decline clinical/practicum assignments at sites requiring vaccination.
