There has been some confusion regarding the rules of mask-wearing and eating, drinking, and gathering in the academic buildings. When we reopened in the Fall, we posted our reopening plan, which has been updated for the spring. Before classes started last fall, you all signed the Clarkson Commitment which says in part that students commit to protect the Clarkson community by:
- Always wearing my face covering (e.g. face mask) any time I am indoors–excluding my assigned residence hall room/suite/apartment–including but not limited to hallways, bathrooms, academic spaces, study/lounge spaces, dining facilities, and fitness facilities, and any time I am outdoors while within six feet of another person.
For now, there will be no dining in study spaces.
When eating on campus, you must follow the guidelines spelled out in the Dining Service Plan, which includes reduced seating capacity in the dining areas.
Appendix 2E of the reopening plan outlines the rules for face coverings.
- All students at Clarkson University must wear a face covering any time they are in a public space within a building (ex. hallways, stairwells, bathrooms (except in shower stalls when showering), elevators, classrooms, common lounges) as well as any time they cannot maintain 6 feet social distancing from another individual.
- If you have a health problem that makes it hard for you to wear a face covering, please contact the Office of Accessibility Services (oas@clarkson.edu) or Environmental Health & Safety (earnold@clarkson.edu) for possible alternatives.
