The spring 2021 semester began Feb. 1 and students who live on campus, take at least one in-person/hybrid class on campus, use services on campus (e.g. library, fitness center, dining) or work on campus must complete the University’s initial testing protocols and comply with all New York State travel requirements before returning to campus.
Adjusting to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic has not been easy. Life on campus has looked different, and we anticipate that the health and safety protocols that helped us get through the fall will continue into the spring 2021 semester. The local and national public health situation continues to evolve quickly, but one thing remains clear: we must stay the course for now. The winter months means spending more time indoors, making it more important than ever to follow the guidelines that have gotten us this far. Wear a mask. Wash your hands often. Keep at least six feet of distance between you and other people. Limit gatherings to 10 or fewer people.
