Your Safety Is Our Priority
Throughout this challenging and unprecedented time, the safety of our community has remained top-of-mind. We’ve implemented a number of new protocols designed to keep our campus safe, and our faculty, staff and students healthy. Please check this page regularly for updates about our safety plans and protocols, including information about visiting campus, our cleaning procedures, and health monitoring.
As JayTerm students returned to campus yesterday, they were required to participate in antigen testing for COVID-19. Any students who tested positive were instructed to isolate, and provided guidance on the isolation period, as well as the option to isolate at home or on campus. If these students do not develop symptoms, they will be permitted to discontinue their isolation on Friday, January 14. Students required to isolate were asked to contact the faculty members teaching their JayTerm courses directly, and to inform those faculty members of their isolation. Faculty and staff who have an advisee or a student in their JayTerm course in isolation will also be notified of their isolation status through PrezPathways. Testing was also held from 7 a.m. – 9 a.m. this morning for any students arriving late so that they can be tested before attending class.

Health Care Tips from the Centers for Disease Control
- Wash your hands often with soap and hot water for 20 seconds, and make sure you wash your thumbs, wrists, and in-between your fingers. This is the best defense against the spread of all viruses.
- Stay home when you are ill. This will help you to recover more quickly and decrease the spread of illness when on campus.
- Use a tissue or the crook of your arm when you cough or sneeze. Promptly wash your hands or use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
- Get plenty of rest/sleep.
- If you have not had the flu vaccine, please consider getting one. While this will not protect against the coronavirus, the vaccine may prevent against the flu.
