Students will not be required to present a vaccination card. However, students are strongly encouraged to be vaccinated to prevent serious illness or severe COVID.
Students are strongly encouraged to return to their permanent residence if they are positive for COVID-19. There are limited isolation spaces on campus.
Health Services will manage student vaccination information, and employees who need to know for student support services regarding COVID-19 symptoms, quarantine or isolation will be notified. Access to student vaccination status will include only those who assist with the operations of healthcare services for isolation or quarantine (Resident Life staff and Athletic Trainers). Faculty will not ask students if they are vaccinated.
MASKS ARE REQUIRED, if students/employees are symptomatic or have been exposed to COVID-19, even if vaccinated/boosted.
Students should fill out the COVID Questionnaire first at https://forms.office.com/r/R2HBpX9M4Y This will give Health Services the information needed to provide a plan of care.

Every student will be asked to bring their own masks and thermometers when they come to campus. Extras will be available as needed.
An acceptable face covering must be made out of tightly woven fabric that is at least 2 layers. Please be extremely careful that your mask or gaiter meets this criteria. (Most gaiters do not.) The CDC has given the recommendation that masks with valves are not permitted, because they allow for a transfer of air. If you have questions about masks, Health Services approves masks in question. We recognize that all of us must adapt as the CDC updates its recommendations. Thank you for understanding that new information is continually forthcoming.
Asbury recommends the PCR or Rapid Antigen diagnostic test to confirm a positive or negative COVID-19 result. At-Home tests will need to be confirmed by repeating test at an official testing location. To locate a diagnostic testing site, work with Student Health Services and consult the list of testing locations, under the question "Where can I get tested for COVID-19?" in the "General Questions" section.
If you have any symptoms or a positive test for COVID-19, please complete the COVID Questionnaire at https://forms.office.com/r/R2HBpX9M4Y and notify Health Services (Health.Services@asbury.edu) or (859) 858-5277 for further instructions, treatment options and assistance. If after hours or on a weekend, please notify the RD on call by calling the Asbury Switchboard at (859)858-3511.
All students are asked to self-monitor for symptoms and take their temperature daily. Residential students must immediately report temperatures ≥100.4° F or COVID-19 symptoms to Health Services.
The symptoms of COVID-19 overlap with many other illnesses, including influenza, strep throat, the common cold, and seasonal allergies. The only way to know for certain whether symptoms are caused by COVID-19 or something else is a diagnostic test. In general, a person is considered to be experiencing symptoms if he/she is experiencing two or more of the following that are not due to an underlying health condition (other than seasonal allergies):
Seating is returned to normal. However, the University may require distance at any point throughout the semester if community transmission rises.
Students with a documented medical condition that requires them to physically distance from other students may request accommodations through Academic Accessibility Resources (AAR). Address your request to Dr. Victoria Slocum at victoria.slocum@asbury.edu. The application for AAR can be found at https://start.asbury.edu/register/AAR_Intake.
Students may practice, rehearse, and perform without masks and without social-distancing. Students are encouraged to self-monitor for symptoms and should not attend group events if symptoms are present.
The following symptoms are deemed problematic and should result in the student missing the practice/rehearsal/performance and reporting to health services.
*Excluding due to a known medical reason other than COVID-19
MASKS ARE REQUIRED, if students/employees are symptomatic or have been exposed to COVID-19, even if vaccinated/boosted.
Chapel services will be held at full capacity (without physical distancing) on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 10 a.m.
Students with a documented medical condition that requires them to physically distance from other students may request accommodations through Academic Accessibility Resources (AAR). Address your request to Dr. Victoria Slocum at victoria.slocum@asbury.edu. The application for AAR can be found at https://start.asbury.edu/register/AAR_Intake.
Students who are required by Health Services to quarantine or isolate should contact the Chapel Office at chapelattendance@asbury.edu for further instructions.
While the University will not gather vaccination information as a requirement for attendance or housing, students are welcome to discuss their vaccination status with their roommate. Students who would prefer to have a vaccinated roommate and determine that their roommate has not been vaccinated may request a room change. The University will do everything possible to accommodate that housing change request but does not guarantee that the student will be rehoused. However, almost always we can accommodate roommate change requests in time.
Move-in will not be staggered. Students and guests with COVID-19 symptoms should not come to campus. If a student is not able to move in on his or her move-in day due to symptoms, the student should contact Health Services at health.services@asbury.edu immediately.
Before arriving to campus, if you are experiencing any flu, strep throat, or COVID-19 symptoms, remain home until you see a health professional and obtain a negative COVID-19 test result. Students should follow the same general practice once they are on campus and remain in their dorm rooms if viral symptoms develop.
If you are not able to move back to campus due to symptoms, contact Health Services at health.services@asbury.edu immediately.
Summer Conference Groups will be permitted to create their own protocol regarding vaccination and masking mandates, provided they do not conflict with our county or state mandates.
For example:
While more than one group is on campus at a time, they will have designated tables to eat at, and will be in separate dorms or hallways.
All conference services personnel will abide by the requests of your group regarding masks any time they interact with individuals from your group.
Extra cleaning supplies can be provided upon request.
In the event of an exposure to COVID-19, please note:
Whether you are vaccinated or not, please notify Human Resources of your exposure.
PCR or Rapid Antigen Testing will be accepted. To locate a diagnostic testing site, please refer to the list of testing locations under “Where can I get tested for COVID-19?” on this FAQ page inside the "General Questions" section.
For positive COVID test results:
Questions regarding remote work options and Plexiglas are handled on a case-by-case review through the employee’s supervisor and HR (and Facilities for Plexiglas)
