Dear Allegheny College Campus Community,
I hope everyone is excited to begin Module 2. We are continuing to see a decline in cases of COVID-19 in Crawford County and all over the globe. While this is very promising, this is not the time to let our guard down. With that in mind, here are some updates on the COVID-19 response on campus.
Masking policy
Masks are not required on campus for fully vaccinated persons outdoors or indoors (including in classrooms). One exception: When you arrive back on campus, please wear a mask until you receive a negative test result at the Wise Center.
Those who are not fully boostered or who have received a vaccine or booster exemption are required to mask at all times on campus.
Shortening of the post-COVID-19 testing exemption period
The number of people reinfected with coronavirus has been rising since the Omicron variant was first detected, with a significant number of people testing positive for COVID-19 within two months of their prior infection. Therefore, those who test positive for COVID-19 will now be exempt from testing for 60 days from the date of their positive test.
Return to campus testing
Students and employees who have been off campus during the Module 1 break, or who did not participate in Module 1, must obtain a COVID-19 test at the Wise Center before moving into their residence hall or rejoining friends and colleagues on campus. Wise Center testing hours can be found below and on our website here.
