Fall 2022 COVID Planning
Here you will find our most recent update as we plan for the 2022-2023 academic year.
Masking
As a precaution to help the College identify case trends on campus and to limit potential spread, high quality masks will be required indoors between Aug. 19 – Sept. 2. This requirement applies to all students, faculty, staff, and visitors in all campus buildings/areas except for at the Marketplace or when alone in a closed room from Aug. 19 – Sept. 2. During this period, the Marketplace will be reserved for student dining only.
Student Testing | Onboarding
The College strongly encourages COVID-19 vaccinations and a booster for all students. There will be no mandatory testing for students on arrival. A PCR test kit will be made available to each student to use if they develop minor symptoms or are notified of a confirmed exposure. Additional PCR kits will be available from SHAW, Campus Safety, and the Office of Student Affairs. Students should follow the test kit instructions and put them in the drop box at the JRC Information desk, where the Test Iowa courier will pick them up.
