亲爱的同学们:
的 University will soon be welcoming you to “the Heights” for the start of classes on August 30. This communication contains reminders and updates for undergraduate and graduate students about campus life this fall.
接种疫苗的需求
Director of University Health Services Dr. 道格拉斯Comeau noted the following important information in his 七月一日信:
- All students are required to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 by August 23, 2021, or prior to that date if moving into campus 学生宿舍 or working on campus earlier.
- 学生 should upload their COVID-19 vaccination cards to UHS via the Agora Health portal by August 1, 2021, 这也是最后期限吗 请求豁免 from the coronavirus vaccination requirement.
- 8月24日开始, the University will begin taking action in regard to students who have not uploaded their vaccination cards, including restrictions on use of EagleID; access to Canvas, 学生宿舍, 餐厅, and the Connell Center; and ability to attend classes.
- To be considered fully vaccinated against COVID-19, students must receive the second Pfizer or Moderna or single J&不迟于2021年8月9日.
电子游戏软件
电子游戏软件 intends for the coming year to be as “normal” as possible. 然而, given the continuing global pandemic and spread of variants, certain changes in processes and procedures are required now (and others may be necessary in the months ahead) to help protect the health and safety of our campus community, 包括:
- 住客登记. 像学生, 教师, 以及校园里的工作人员, all non-BC guests visiting 学生宿舍 must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. 的ir hosts must ensure that their visiting guests, 朋友, and family members upload their vaccination cards, and provide contact information for possible contact tracing purposes prior to entering any University housing. Additional details about the guest registration process will be forthcoming.
- 宿舍房间容量 具体内容如下:
- Traditional residence hall rooms – 2 guests per resident
- Apartments and suites – 4 guests per resident, maximum of 24 people (including resident hosts)
- Registered parties – 5 guests per resident, maximum of 36 people (including resident hosts) for indoor parties.
- COVID-19 Asymptomatic Surveillance Testing. Fully vaccinated individuals are well protected against COVID-19 and current variants, 但“突破性”案例确实会发生. 因此, in addition to the initial PCR test upon move-in/return to campus, the University will be conducting limited weekly COVID-19 asymptomatic surveillance testing throughout the semester, with a particular focus on “high contact” groups, 比如餐饮工人, 客房服务人员, 居民助理, 等. 如果被选中并通过电子邮件通知, students will be required to complete their COVID-19 test as instructed. Those who test positive will be placed in University housing for isolation. UHS and Massachusetts DPH protocols will be followed for those identified as close contacts; 充分接种疫苗的学生 will be tested, 如果是负的, 不需要隔离或隔离.
- 面具/面罩的. 在这个时候，可能会有变化, 充分接种疫苗的学生, 教师, and staff will not be required to wear masks on campus, 但我觉得这样做很自由, 包括在课堂上. 学生 with University COVID-19 vaccination exemptions will be required to wear masks when inside BC buildings, 包括教室和实验室.
- 建设占用. 校内餐饮设施, 宿舍公共区域, 教室, and libraries will return to pre-pandemic occupancy limits.
- 每日现象监控. Given the possibility of “breakthrough” COVID-19 cases, students will be expected to monitor their health on a daily basis, 利用 BC Check应用, which may be required for access to certain venues on campus. 如果学生有任何症状, they should contact University Health Services immediately and must not attend classes or use campus facilities.
As has been the case since the start of the pandemic, the University may need to modify policies and procedures because of changing conditions and guidance from local, 状态, 联邦官员. 学生 will need to be flexible to help safeguard the health and safety of the 电子游戏软件 and broader community.
Please be alert for additional information from various departments and offices on campus. 的 公元前向前站点 will continue to be a resource for important updates and communications.
的 电子游戏软件 community has responded generously and effectively to the challenges of COVID-19 since March 2020, and I am confident that it will continue to do so. I look forward to the coming academic year.
真诚地,
迈克尔Lochhead
执行副总裁
