COVID Protocols While on Campus:

• Masks on indoors at all times 
• While indoors, try to maintain 2ft distance (roughly one arm’s length) from others when and where possible to do so
• No food during the tour (a closed cap water bottle/soft drink would be okay and unmasking for a quick drink is not an issue)
• If you are sick and/or experiencing any COVID-like symptoms (here’s the link per CDC), you should not come to campus and must reschedule.
• You may use the CDC Symptom checker prior to coming to campus if you desire, which can be found here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/coronavirus-self-checker.html
• If you appear to be noticeably sick (i.e. coughing frequently, etc.), you may be asked to leave the campus
• Those who have traveled internationally within the past 7 days must be tested and provide negative results of COVID prior to coming on to campus. You would be responsible for testing and providing the result to us.

What should I bring to my Rosenstiel School campus tour?

Our campus is small, but we recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothing for hot/humid weather. You may consider bringing accessories such as a water bottle (fountains located around campus), a hat, sunscreen, and bug spray, for the outdoor portion of the tour. Umbrellas will be provided if it is raining.
