In continuous, strategic preparation for our campus return, the University Pandemic Task Force has recommended policies and procedures to help mitigate the risk of COVID-19 for our CSU Family. Each decision is influenced by research and guidance from a variety of agencies including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC), specifically as it relates to their guidelines for higher education institutions. See the 5 Steps below to help keep our campus family healthy and safe. For additional info, go to charlestonsouthern.edu/bucsafe.

Outlined in the guidelines are best practices for every area of campus. Protocols include screening, physical (social) distancing practices, a face covering policy, hand hygiene recommendations, cleaning and disinfection modifications, and a clear approach for quarantine and isolation measures.

Most, if not all, of your questions can be answered in this document, so please read it in its entirety. Also included is a waiver that all students must complete prior to reporting to campus. You will be prompted to sign the waiver the next time you login to MyCSU.

For residential students ONLY:

Proof of a negative COVID-19 test is required at least 24 hours prior to a student's check-in time. Click here to review the steps for submission.
