At Bismarck State College, we want to ensure the health and safety of students, staff, faculty and campus guests. In light of a few measles cases in North Dakota communities, BSC is taking proactive steps to keep our environment safe and healthy.
Come to Campus Healthy
Please ensure you come to campus in good health. If you feel unwell, or are showing any signs of measles (fever, rash, cough, etc.), please stay home and consult with your healthcare provider before coming to campus.
Use Healthy Practices
Practice healthy habits to stay safe:
- Wash hands frequently with soap and water
- Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or elbow
- Avoid sharing personal items like water bottles or utensils
These simple practices go a long way in preventing the spread of illness.
