For Faculty and Staff

What you need to know:

Due to the damage and power outage caused by the Aug. 10 “derecho” severe thunderstorm, the start of Fall Term 1 classes was delayed to Monday, Aug. 31.
Anyone entering a campus building or public space must wear a face mask and shield and consistently practice physical distancing.
We have a contract with a private testing firm for initial and regularized COVID-19 testing for students, faculty, and staff who will be on campus this fall.
Remote work requirements (with only critical operations on campus) remain in place until further notice.
The planning continues for how we return to the workplace or transition to new ways of working in order to protect faculty and staff.
We are planning for a very low-density population on campus this fall.
Fall Term 1 and 2 classes will be offered remotely.
Condensed academic terms may allow us to bring students safely onto campus in phases.
No Grinnell-funded travel will be permitted until further notice.
Grinnell athletic teams will not compete against other colleges during fall or winter seasons.
