A Reminder for Students Before Coming to Campus this Semester


Greetings,

In order to keep you and our entire NJCU community safe, we are following local health department recommendations and requiring that every student be assessed for COVID-19 symptoms and risk factors each day before entering the campus. 

The assessment will only pertain to students whose classes require you to physically come onto campus and will take no more than three (3) minutes. You will receive a daily email with directions on how to access the assessment, and each morning you will receive a text message reminder to go through a symptom check before coming to campus. This text will also include appropriate next steps should you feel you are exhibiting any of the COVID-19 symptoms.

Regardless of survey results, if you feel that you have symptoms related to COVID-19, please contact a healthcare professional and do not come to campus.

Stay informed. Information is changing rapidly. Please visit the NJCU COVID-19 Resource Page for more information.

Please remember to:
  • Wear appropriate face coverings when on campus, except in private spaces and situations such as when alone in an enclosed office or residential room.
  • Maintain social distancing guidelines and practice proper and frequent handwashing techniques.
  • Monitor your health each day and not enter a university building or participate in any activities if you display symptoms of COVID-19, including but not limited to fever, respiratory distress, and dry cough. If you feel sick, make the appropriate notification, stay home, and seek immediate medical guidance.
  • Follow quarantine guidelines as per the travel advisory set by the New Jersey Department of Health after traveling to areas with a significant spread of COVID-19 (www.nj.gov/health). 
  • Cooperate with any requests for information if contacted on behalf of an NJCU contact tracer.
  • Follow any other NJCU guidelines that may be developed in the future to protect our campus community.
