Faculty/Staff: Return to Campus Checklist

I am an ESF employee. What do I need to do to return for the Spring 2021 semester?

Employees will fall into one of two categories:

I expect to use ESF and/or SU on-campus facilities.
I do not expect to use ESF and/or SU on-campus facilities.

Please select the appropriate category below.

I expect to use ESF and/or SU on-campus facilities.

Today through your first day of on-campus (Syracuse) activity

Submit the Daily Screening Form – every day – for 14 days before you return to campus. If you’ve missed a day, please don’t worry. Start today and do it every day from now on. This applies to everyone who comes to or expects to come to campus for any reason – to teach, to pick up a file, to meet with Human Resources, etc.

Before February 8, 2021

If you expect to use Syracuse University facilities, upload documentation that you have had a flu vaccine since July 1, 2020. This requirement does not pertain to the Stadium testing facility.
Review and consider signing the revised College Commitment.
If you’ve traveled outside New York State between January 26 and February 8, complete the New York State Traveler Health Form and follow the New York State Travel Advisory guidelines.

Weekly, beginning February 1, 2021:

Secure a weekly COVID-19 test. Registration is required. Tests will be at the Stadium (formerly the Dome) and will be offered Mondays through Fridays, from 9 am to 2 pm. Follow these guidelines:

-- Have your ESF ID card with you.

-- Do not report to testing (or anywhere) if you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. Instead contact your health care provider.

-- Wear a mask when arriving at the check-in center.

-- Do not brush your teeth or use mouthwash for 3 hours prior to arriving at the check-in center.

-- Do not eat or drink – including water, gum, mints, lozenges, smoking, or smokeless tobacco products – for 30 minutes prior to arriving at the check-in center.

These steps are explained in detail in an email that was sent on January 25, 2021.

I do not expect to use ESF and/or SU on-campus facilities.

Consider weekly testing to detect presence of the COVID-19 virus. Even though you are not using campus facilities, you are encouraged to secure a weekly COVID-19 test.
