Our goal is to keep our college community healthy while attending classes in person.
While there are limitations on what higher education institutions can require, we
are meeting regularly with the statewide taskforce to determine best practices. Snow
College has decided to closely follow the “layered prevention strategies” outlined
for state K-12 schools.
Students and employees should note the following strategies strongly recommended by the Utah Department of Health. Each bullet point is linked to additional information:
Employees and students should have received multiple messages recommending you get
vaccinated before coming to campus. Please talk to your health care provider and take
this important step.
Richfield faculty, staff, and students and others in Ephraim who cannot attend on-campus
clinics should make an appointment with another provider. See distribution locations.
Because of the Delta variant, the CDC recommends that everyone, including vaccinated
individuals, wear a mask indoors in public if they are in an area of substantial or
high transmission.
Although these are CDC recommendations, it is ultimately a personal choice.
The referenced K-12 page lists “other quarantine options for schools.” Snow College
expects those who have been exposed to COVID-19 to, at a minimum, wear a mask on campus
for 10 days.
Health care providers can test for COVID-19 when you contact them for an appointment.
Free, on-campus testing will be available in Ephraim on Monday through Thursdays from
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM in the Snow Fun Office, located on the west side of the Terry
Foote Football Stadium, and in Richfield on Tuesdays from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM in the
SVC.
We know there are a lot of questions about how this semester will look, and we will
continue to keep you updated as we learn more. We plan to have a successful, student-focused
year and hope you will join us.
