Dear Students,
Thank you for your responsible efforts to reduce the density of students remaining on campus. We appreciate those who have already moved out or retrieved essential belongings for the remainder of the semester.
This reduces the risk of exposure and spread of COVID-19, the coronavirus, as well as the strain on our limited employees still on campus.
This Wednesday and Thursday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., is the next window we can extend for those who have not yet done so.
Please see the Students/Parent section of SUNY Morrisville’s coronavirus webpage and consult the Frequently Asked Questions section for details about staying on campus, retrieving belongings or leaving campus.
If you have not already, please complete the “Student Plans After Spring Break” survey in Web for Students. Survey responses must be received by noon this Wednesday, March 25. Students seeking to remain in campus housing MUST complete the survey to receive notification this Friday, March 27, about where they will be housed.
Students seeking to retrieve belongings this Wednesday and Thursday will need to bring their swipe cards to access the halls, and will have express checkout available by the Resident Assistants Office after clearing their rooms. Please contact Residence Life ahead of time, so they can turn on swipe card access and be prepared for student arrival.
Because of limited personnel and social distancing protocol, there will be no campus personnel or equipment to assist with any move out. Students will need to bring their own assistance with them. We ask that everyone practice social distancing, staying at least six feet apart as much as possible, and regularly wash their hands, cough into sleeves rather than hands and otherwise limit the risk of exposure to keep our students, employees, guests and neighbors as safe as possible.
If students OR any guests accompanying them to campus answer YES to any of the following, they will not be permitted to come to campus, or enter residence halls, until they have completed a 14-day quarantine:
- Has flu-like symptoms; or
- Has been in any of the following countries within the last 14 days: China, South Korea, Japan, Italy, Iran and any other country reported by the Centers for Disease Control has having “widespread sustained” (with or without restrictions on entry to the U.S.) or “sustained community” spread of the coronavirus (www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/index.html); or
- Resides or has had close contact with anyone who has been in one of the countries listed above within the last 14 days; or
- Has been directed to self-quarantine, isolate or self-monitor for the coronavirus by any doctor, hospital or health agency; or
- Has been diagnosed with, or has had close contact with anyone diagnosed with, COVID-19.
Thank you again for your patience and cooperation as we work together to reduce exposure and keep everyone as safe as possible.
