Hounds,
We hope your first few weeks of the spring semester have gone well.
As our first weekend approaches, it’s a good time to remind you of the general expectations for compliance with University COVID-19 policy/protocols. Unfortunately, other colleges and universities are reporting high positivity numbers (both on and off-campus) in their second week upon returning to campus. As such, it is very important that we continue to be diligent to help reduce COVID-19 on campus.
Some general reminders for off-campus students:
- Off-campus students are representatives of Assumption University in the community and are expected to abide by all University policies and protocols related to COVID-19 and the code of conduct.
- Students must quarantine until their symptom tracker indicates green. Please be patient as Testing Center staff need time to make this adjustment once results are in.
- Access to residence halls is prohibited.
- Gatherings on and off-campus are strictly prohibited.
- Students found hosting/attending parties/gatherings will face suspension from the University without a tuition refund.
- Please keep this in mind if planning to watch the Super Bowl with others.
