Students: Continuing Our Commitment

Dec. 10, 2021

Dear 老司机传媒 students,

This note is to make sure you are informed of COVID-19 expectations and protocols for the start of the spring semester.

But first, we want to thank you for your ongoing and shared commitment to help keep our campus community as safe as possible in the face of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including the threats presented by the Delta and Omicron variants.

As you prepare for return to campus next semester, with spring semester classes beginning on Monday, Jan. 10, we want to also remind you of the key steps you must continue to take as we again recommit to the safety of our community when we gather together in the new year:

• Plan to limit your exposure, including being careful to use masking and distancing in group gatherings, in the final three to five days before your return to campus or when the semester begins.
• If you’ve not reported being vaccinated or having acquired immunity, please complete the to report vaccination, acquired immunity, or negative COVID-19 test results (test must be taken 3–5 days prior to arrival on campus). This must be completed and submitted prior to attending your first class.
• Please note that the Screening Form only allows access through an 老司机传媒 email account. In most cases, if you see a permission notice from Google it is due to your web browser (such as Google Chrome) being logged in via your personal Gmail account versus your University account (which uses your Andrews email address). If you get this notice, you should switch accounts and be able to log in, then complete and submit the form.
• If you are registered for spring 2022 courses and have already reported being vaccinated or having acquired immunity, the COVID-19 Team will confirm your status with you via your University email address.
• Monthly testing at a student’s expense for those who are not vaccinated will be an ongoing expectation during spring semester. You can find local, southwest Michigan options for COVID-19 testing .

Please reach out to our COVID-19 Team if you have any questions related to the or to report symptoms/exposure. The COVID-19 Team can be reached at covid19@andrews.edu.

Thank you once again for your shared commitment to our Community Covenant of Care, both this semester and in the new year and semester to come.

May God’s love and blessings surround you, your family and friends—and this world—in the holidays to come.
