CORONAVIRUS Update: USAHS plans a full return to campus for 2021 Fall Term courses and lab sessions. USAHS expects to resume all in-person classes and on-campus academic activities, such as regularly scheduled residencies, weekend labs and course intensives, with the September 7 Fall Term start.
Make sure you read this overview of safety practices to get ready and well informed when returning to your USAHS campus.
Preparing for Campus Reentry
Complete required COVID-19 Safety Training.
Begin recommended daily online health self-screening.
If you are not cleared, do not come to campus. You will receive an email with further instructions and follow Quarantine Guidelines.
Bring a personal face covering, course materials, and nonperishable snacks and beverages in a personal container, such as a small insulated lunch bag.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Protocols
Wear your face covering during all interactions.
Additional PPE for lab sessions will be provided, which includes procedural masks, gloves, and a reusable full face shield.
Entering and Exiting Campus
Before traveling to campus, complete health self-screening, and bring email with QR code.
Park in designated areas, wear face covering, and always maintain social distance.
Follow the signs to the main campus entrance point.
At the designated entrance, undergo touchless temperature screening. If 100.4 or above, a member of the Campus Reentry Team will privately discuss next steps.
If you are cleared, take a wristband for the day and go to your workstation or lab classroom.
Follow the Building Entry, Daily Access, and Exit Protocols.
Navigating Campus Spaces
No common areas (such as picnic tables, breakrooms, vending, lounges) will be accessible.
Lab classrooms have a max capacity of 19 individuals and are arranged with 6 foot spacing. Do not move furniture or equipment.
Campus restrooms have been modified to comply with social distancing requirements. Queuing lines will be marked to minimize crowding.
Staying Safe and Healthy On Campus
