With the semester underway and students back on campus, here are some of the protections CU Boulder is implementing for faculty, staff and students:
-
Before the first day of class in August, everyone took a required online course about COVID-19 safety.
-
Each day before coming to campus, students, faculty and staff are required to fill out a daily health form.
-
The university course schedule includes remote and hybrid classes, reducing the number of students on campus at any given time.
-
Building access is limited by requiring a school ID swipe before entering.
-
Open air tents with tables and WiFi provide students with a workspace.
-
Portable HEPA filters were added to classrooms, as well as using outdoor ventilation.
-
Weekly COVID testing is provided to students living in residence halls.
-
At the front entrance of buildings, hand-sanitizing stations are provided and disinfecting wipes are in every classroom.
-
Frequently-touched surfaces like doorknobs and lightswitches are routinely disinfected.
-
Masks and social-distancing are mandatory on campus at all times.
