NCFC and Hidden Valley Music Seminars are committed to providing the safest possible experience for all students, faculty and staff, and to the well-being of the community-at-large. Toward this end, we have established the following plan for summer 2024, in accordance with the World Health Organization’s recommendations, as well as those of the Centers for Disease Control, and local health offices of Monterey County.
The plan for a safe, Covid-free operation for NCFC is as follows:
- COVID-19 vaccination is required of all persons in attendance. A scanned copy of the student's vaccination card is due with the balance of tuition and other forms on April 1st.
- Prevention and Monitoring: We will operate strictly as a closed campus and require screening for all persons on campus (see “Health Protocols”).
2024 Health Protocols
- Immediate testing for any students or personnel experiencing symptoms. Any person who receives a positive COVID test will be sent home for the remainder of the session at that person's expense.
- Use of a mask is optional, and at the individual's discretion.
Our administration will closely follow COVID-19 positivity rates in all geographic areas in the weeks leading up to the session.
This policy will be updated continually and altered as needed as the impact of the virus changes in either direction in the state of California.
