Fanuchånan 2020

No. There are no changes to the academic calendar for Fanuchanan 2020.

UOG employees and UOG students have a shared responsibility. Wearing masks; practicing social distancing; following room, bathroom and elevator density guidelines; and sanitizing high-touch surfaces are all critical to campus safety. Everyone must follow these guidelines to avoid spreading the COVID-19 virus on UOG's campus, and to protect yourself and others.

Please do not come to the campus if you are feeling ill or have any symptoms of COVID-19.

Do not come to the campus if you have recently tested positive for COVID-19 or have recently come into contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. Instead call 311 for advice on Contract Tracing. Contact your health provider for additional advice. Contact your instructor as well about make-up work.

The University will continue to follow COVID-19 public health protocols mandating social distancing and requiring everyone on campus to wear masks.

• To further protect students and employees, classrooms have been re-arranged with strict social distancing protocols - a minimum of 6 feet between every seat with an instructor buffer of 11 to 14 feet at the front of the classroom or lab.
• Seat capacity has been reduced in classrooms to 25-30% of the original amount. Instructors may rotate student attendance to facilitate safe learning environments.
• Elevators will be restricted to one (1) person at a time.
• Temperature checks will be done at the entry of each building.
• Bathrooms will be generally restricted to two (2) persons as a time.
• High-touch surfaces will be sanitized before each class. 
• UOG has also installed plexiglass shields in most offices to provide additional protection for students and employees.
• Hand sanitizer is also available throughout the campus.
• Signage is posted around campus reminding individuals of how to keep safe.

Anyone who enters a UOG building will be subject to screening. Screening entails asking a series of pertinent questions to minimize the risk of the COVID-19 spread within UOG facilities. If you answer “YES” to any of the questions below, you will be asked to leave the campus or referred to appropriate Public Health contacts for proper care and guidance.

These questions include, but are not limited to:

• Have you been diagnosed with COVID-19 within the last 14 days?
• Have you had any symptoms that make you likely to be COVID-19 positive (i.e. cough, shortness of breath, fever).
• Do you live with someone who has been or is diagnosed with COVID-19 or traveled within the last 14 days?
• Within the last 14 days, have you been identified as someone requiring self-monitoring as part of contact tracing related to someone diagnosed with COVID-19?
  

You Go outside of the building you are in, find a space where you can be at least 8-10 feet from anyone, and take off your mask. If anyone approaches you to talk, you must keep that distance from them without a mask.

Always over your nose and mouth - at the same time. Do not pull a mask down to talk to someone because you can eject moist particles from your exposed nose and/or mouth.

Generally, you will not be able to come to campus for classes (or to work). Properly worn masks are a requirement for everyone who visits the UOG campus. Having one person not wearing a mask in a room with other people wearing masks creates additional and unnecessary risk.

Generally, no.  Most of the eating spaces on campus are not large enough for 8-10 foot distancing without a mask.  It is best to eat off campus or in your vehicle.
