INDOOR MASK REQUIREMENT CHANGE

The COVID-19 Task Force made a change effective August 22, 2022:

Masks or cloth face coverings are required on all College shuttles. Masks are recommended, but not required in all indoor areas of campus buildings.

• Masks must be worn properly and cover the nose, mouth, and chin.
• Masks with an exhalation valve or vent are prohibited.
• Disposable masks are available at each campus.

School of Health Studies (SHS) students must wear additional personal protective equipment (PPE) when instructed to do so by SHS faculty during clinical and/or laboratory instruction. The College will provide additional PPE (such as gloves and/or face shields) to SHS students, faculty & staff in connection with clinical and/or laboratory instruction. Sharing of PPE is prohibited.

NOTE:
All students, faculty, staff, and visitors are still required to complete the COVID-19 Health Questionnaire online form each day before entering any campus building or boarding a College shuttle.


Exemption from Mask Requirement
Any individual who is unable to wear a mask or cloth face covering due to disability (such as a qualifying medical condition) should request an accommodation. Those who are approved for an exemption from the mask requirement and receive an accommodation will receive instructions and the College may provide alternative protective equipment such as face shields.

• Students should submit a request to Katherine Wu at KNW@BerkeleyCollege.edu
• Faculty and staff should contact Eileen Rizzo at ENR@BerkeleyCollege.edu
