校园缓解协议是不稳定的，将基于以下几个因素:

• Recommendations by the CDC, MDHHS, and/or Berrien County Health Department
• 社区/本地和校园传输数据和最佳实践

个别方案也应基于个别风险因素. 大学没有强制要求接种COVID-19疫苗. 

我们将继续审查对协议的因素和影响. Changes will be announced as needed.

校园协议可在以下部分找到:

• Self-Report Vaccinations
• Self-Report Acquired Immunity
• Community Covenant of Care
• Events & Campus Guests
• Masking/Physical Distancing
• Symptom Monitoring
• Residence Hall Isolation Guidelines

Andrews University encourages employees and students to self-report receiving a vaccination. 信息可以通过这个专用网站提交 Banner page.

这些数据有助于该大学了解疫苗接种对校园的潜在影响, including which areas may still be at risk and quantities that could be factored into future vaccine options.

Please review additional information on COVID-19 vaccinations from Spectrum Health Lakeland here 还有贝里恩县卫生局 here.

Andrews University considers those who previously tested positive for COVID-19 and completed isolation to have met the University’s standards for “acquired immunity” status.

Employees or students who have previously tested positive for COVID-19 but have not been vaccinated can self-report those details, 包括COVID-19检测呈阳性的日期(或大致日期), through this dedicated Banner page.

虽然不可能完全消除COVID-19感染的风险(见 Statement of Responsibility), each one of us as students, 教职员工必须继续采取个人行动, significant and important steps to help stop the risk and spread of COVID-19 infection by persistently protecting and caring for our own and others’ health and safety.

这种对关怀的期望在大学的 Community Covenant of Care (updated for fall 2022). 我们校园社区的所有成员都应遵守关怀契约.

校园活动和嘉宾没有独特的COVID-19相关要求.

个人应遵循最佳做法，包括如果生病就呆在家里. 

Masks are optional throughout the entire campus.

Please note that if a faculty, staff member or student feels uncomfortable or unsafe when interacting with students and others in a classroom or another small space on campus (or for an extended trip in a University vehicle off campus), then those individuals do have the right to ask that a mask be worn by others in those spaces, 但这些人可能不会强制要求使用口罩.

Timeframe: 协议将保持不变，并将对任何变更进行审查.

In addition to the availability of approved vaccines and COVID-19 safety protocols—physical distancing, good hygiene and wearing a face mask (optional)—we also encourage you to enhance your wellness by taking day-to-day actions that can make a difference. Read more here.

Individuals should assess their symptoms and exposures every day before accessing the campus.

This self-assessment should include:

• Screening for symptoms:
  • Acute loss of taste or smell
  • 新的和/或无法解释的咳嗽/喉咙痛/充血或流鼻涕
  • 新的和/或无法解释的消化系统症状，如腹泻、呕吐或腹痛
  • 新的和/或无法解释的疲劳、肌肉或身体疼痛
  • Fever/chills (100.4 or higher)
  • 呼吸短促或呼吸困难
• Screening for exposure
  • 与COVID-19确诊/可能病例密切接触者

个人应通过在线报告任何症状、接触情况或阳性检测， Google-based form 将视情况提交给学生生活或人力资源部. 校园不需要每天提交“无症状”报告. Individuals who are experiencing vaccine related symptom在接种疫苗剂量后72小时内不需要报告症状.

More information on symptom monitoring and case management guidelines is available through the MDHHS.

For residence hall students, you should request help in arranging an isolation space by using this Google form. If it is before 9 a.m. or after 4 p.m., 你应该计划留在你现在的宿舍房间, 除了寻求医疗服务, getting takeout meals, or using the restroom, making sure to minimize your contact with others until an isolation space is assigned to you by Guest, Conventions & Event Scheduling Services.

Residence hall students who are unable to personally access the Terrace Café or Gazebo should make arrangements for a friend to get takeout meals. However, if you can’t find a friend to help, you can also choose to mask up, with fully sanitized hands, and visit Dining Services during off-peak times to get your own takeout meal at the Terrace Café or Gazebo. Please note: If you are isolating, 外卖一定要在自我隔离的地方吃.

宿舍学生也可以打电话给餐饮服务部门了解任何额外的选择. If you have any questions, please contact them directly at 269-471-3161 or by email at this link. 

The COVID-19 situation remains fluid and therefore it will require flexiblity on the part of the instructor and the students. 考虑到这一点，沟通是一个成功学期的关键.

Students, please be in contact with your instructor if any situation arises that might interfere with your class attendance and learning.  你的教练将会致力于做同样的事情.

此外，我们还要求学生提出以下问题:

1. If you are exhibiting symptoms or believe you may have been exposed to COVID-19 or other illness, 请不要计划亲自上课. Instead, reach out to your instructor immediately to work out the details on how you can continue learning when you are not physically attending the course.
2. 如果这门课程有在线学习选项, 请遵循老师的指导和相机使用规定, microphone, 和软件使用，使您可以继续参加/参与在线.
3. Students in this, or any Andrews University course, fully commit to creating a safe classroom environment which means no posting of class materials (including links to unlisted videos or clips of videos removed from their original classrom context) to social media or other forums. Likewise, in all cases, Christian ethics and the values of Andrews University rule out disparaging faculty and classmates on social media or in virtual spaces.
4. Please note that your course instructor or an instructor's family member may be affected by ongoing COVID-19 challenges. As a result, we are also asking for your understanding and flexibility if your classes need to be disrupted, adapted, or modified due to those factors.
    

Please note:  这些统计数据反映了自我报告的症状, 2023年春季学期可能或阳性的COVID-19病例. For comparison with previous COVID-19 case trends on the Berrien Springs campus of Andrews University, our average number of cases averaged 70 new COVID-19 cases each week at the peak of the Omicron wave/surge last year, during Spring Semester 2022.
