• Starting classes early will allow us to complete in-person instruction by Thanksgiving break, with the end of the semester, including exams, conducted remotely and finishing on December 6. This change is to comply with public health guidance to avoid asking our community to disperse across the country and then return to campus, potentially contributing to virus spread. 
• Critical operations staff and research personnel will return to campus on June 29. 
• Student-facing staff and those necessary to prepare residence halls for student arrivals will begin to return on July 6, as needed. 
• Full faculty and staff will begin to return to campus on August 10, with a target of 25 percent overall occupancy on each campus. Managers will achieve that occupancy target with a mix of continued remote work for some, reduced density, and staggered scheduling. Human Resources will soon issue detailed guidance to managers on meeting these goals.
• The Office of Residential Life and Housing and the Deans for Students will notify students of Orientation, move-in, and other return-to-campus calendars, pursuant to the phased reopening of New York State.

• We are recommending that all members of the Pace Community be screened for COVID-19 before they return to campus. Those who test positive may not come to campus and instead should consult University Health Care or their health care provider. Fourteen days of isolation, and three days without fever or fever-reducing medication, are required before returning to campus.
• We will conduct random temperature checks on all three campuses. All Pace Community members will be required to conduct daily self-monitoring for symptoms, using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) questionnaire this summer and then via a Pace mobile app beginning in the fall. Anyone reporting symptoms will be referred to University Health Care or their own health care provider. Approved visitors to campus, including vendors and contractors, will be expected to follow these procedures.
• We have protocols in place for positive cases, including contact tracing as directed by public health officials with support from Pace tracing teams. We also have isolation procedures in place, including available isolation rooms in residence halls.
• We will appoint a Coronavirus Coordination Officer to serve as a point of contact for all students, faculty, and staff, to manage testing, tracing, and response efforts, and to coordinate with public health officials. Until that officer is named, the campus directors of University Health Care will handle those responsibilities.

• We’ll have detailed guidance for reduced capacity in all Pace spaces, including classrooms, studios, performance spaces, labs, offices, residence halls, and common spaces, including dining facilities, libraries, lounges, auditoriums, and gyms (when those gathering places are permitted by the state to open).
• We will establish and clearly indicate traffic patterns for hallways, staircases, elevators, entrances, and exits.
• We have cleaned and disinfected all campus spaces since we closed the campuses in March. We will utilize enhanced cleaning protocols, including CDC-approved disinfectants and increased cleaning frequency, in all academic spaces, common spaces, and residential spaces.
• Our heating and cooling infrastructure will be adjusted to increase fresh air flow, add efficient filtration, and use UV-C technology to combat infectious particles while continuing to control temperature and humidity.
• Finally, we have established special cleaning protocols for suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases.

• All students, faculty, and staff will be required to complete an online health and safety training module before the start of the fall semester.
• Social distancing will be required on all campuses, and face coverings will be required in all common spaces. We will provide cloth face coverings to all community members. Regular hand washing and sanitizer use will be encouraged. Additional hand-sanitizing stations have been added at building entrances.
• We’ll launch a public health campaign across all Pace communication channels (including social media, signage, campus screens, websites, email, and so on) reinforcing these expectations, and we’ll have protocols in place to monitor compliance. 
• Ultimately, our ability to keep the Pace Community safe and healthy will depend on everyone’s cooperation in following this guidance, remaining vigilant, and being careful.
