#CampusClear App
RACC is encouraging faculty, staff, administrators and students to use the #CampusClear app for daily self-symptom screening before entering buildings on the campus.
If community members do not have the #CampusClear app on a mobile device, they will be required to have a temperature screening, and answer a few questions prior to entering any campus building.
The #CampusClear app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play. The RACC community can register for an account using their college email address.
