We Are Ready
Fully restoring campus operations requires patience, careful consideration and deliberate implementation. As the situation is still fluid, some of these details may change. We will update these pages accordingly.
Badgers:
It’s been one month since classes started, and we are still able to be interacting face-to-face. Thank you for your efforts to keep our college community safe and healthy!
We are seeing an increase in the number of students and employees who are contacting our COVID Cares Team with symptoms, but the number of positive cases remain manageable. You can see daily rates and the seven-day average on our website. We know Utah County has had significant spikes in positive cases, and university leaders there have asked students to seriously limit their activities to avoid “more dramatic actions” which “may include a two-week quarantine, closing campuses to the public or a complete retreat to all-remote instructions for the rest of the semester.” We do not want to have to pursue any of these options and ask you to please stay diligent in your preventative behaviors. Please continue to wear your face coverings, social distance, and practice good hygiene both on and off campus. Continue to report your symptoms so we can provide resources as necessary. We have been fortunate so far this semester, and we ask you to continue to do your part so we can stay healthy and face-to-face.

Fall Semester Safety Guidelines
Practice Social Distancing
Stay 6 feet apart when possible and do not congregate.
Limit face-to-face interaction and campus footprint as much as possible.
Move quickly and observe social distancing in hallways.
Wear Face Coverings
Face coverings are required in campus facilities (Exceptions: private work areas, ADA restrictions for face coverings, etc.).*
Face coverings must cover the nose and mouth and be properly removed, cleaned, stored or disposed of, to avoid contamination of self, others or the environment.
Practice Prevention Hygiene
Wash hands frequently and use alcohol-based hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available.
Avoid touching your face, eyes, or nose.
Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing.
Limit Gatherings and Meetings
Limit number of participants per college requirements, depending on safety plan phase.
Practice social distancing during meetings and allow a remote option.
Keep meetings minimal and reserved for critical activities.
Clean and disinfect all table surfaces, chairs and computer equipment before and after each on-campus meeting.
Personal Accountability Protocol
All employees and students are expected to follow College safety guidelines.
Any person not wearing an applicable face covering when required, or abiding to social distancing requirements, may be asked to leave the facility.
*If you are unable to wear a face covering, please visit the ADA office (students) or HR (employees) for appropriate accommodations.
Stay Home When You Are Sick
The CDC says those with COVID-19 report a wide range of symptoms, ranging from mild to severe. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms or combinations of symptoms may have COVID-19:
- Cough
- Shortness of breath/difficulty breathing
Or at least two of these symptoms:
- Fever
- Chills
- Repeated shaking with chills
- Muscle pain
- Headache
- Sore throat
- New loss of taste or smell
COVID-19 Testing Guidelines
If you are tested for COVID-19, you may continue to work from home, if possible, while in quarantine and/or self-isolation. If you test positive for COVID-19 you are not permitted to return to campus until you fulfill the state’s self-isolation or quarantine requirement.
