HEALTH & SAFETY PROTOCOLS ADDENDUM
HEALTH & SAFETY PROTOCOLS ADDENDUM
The rapidly changing situation with regard to the recent surge in COVID cases has led to Austin Community College updating their health and safety protocols even from what was in place last week. As a result, the wording in the master syllabus template, specifically the section on health & safety protocols under College Policies, is no longer accurate.
However, given the high state of uncertainty about how the situation will develop, it has been decided that rather than revising the template repeatedly (and forcing those who have already written their syllabi for this fall to do it again), faculty should incorporate the wording as it is provided in the template into their course syllabi and first-day handouts.
But, if you would, please distribute to your students this addendum that details the current health & safety protocols as they stand at this time. Most importantly, ALL FACULTY, STAFF, AND STUDENTS SHOULD FREQUENTLY VISIT ACC’S COVID WEBSITE AT https://www.austincc.edu/coronavirus FOR THE LATEST UPDATES AND GUIDANCE.
Operational areas of ACC campuses and centers are fully open and accessible through all public entrances. While some health & safety protocols are no longer mandatory, the college encourages its staff, faculty, and students to be mindful of the well-being of all individuals on campus. If you feel sick, feverish, or unwell, please do not come to campus.
Some important things to remember:
• Face Masks Required - On Friday, August 13, 2021, the ACC Board of Trustees unanimously approved a face mask mandate at ACC. Effective August 20, 2021, anyone who is 2 years of age or older will be required to wear a face mask in all ACC buildings.
• Virtual Learning for the First 3 Weeks - ACC will scale back the number of students and employees on campus when the fall semester begins. Many courses will be held online for the first three weeks of the semester from August 23 through September 12. Courses that require in-person instruction, including some labs, will still be held on-campus. Those that can be moved to online formats will do so for this period.
• Health Screening Required - Starting Monday, August 16, 2021, ACC’s health app will be required for all students, employees, and visitors. Download the app here. If you’re exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 or have tested positive, the app will provide you information about steps you can take to report your illness.
• Vaccination Clinics - ACC hosts a series of on-campus COVID-19 vaccination clinics for eligible members of the ACC community. Clinics are offered at select campuses districtwide. The clinics are offered in partnership with Austin Public Health and Travis County Fire & Rescue. The vaccination schedule is available here. All appointments are walk-up and available on a first-come, first-served basis unless otherwise noted. The college strongly urges those who are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine to get one.
• COVID Testing - If you are experiencing COVID-19-related symptoms, please get a COVID-19 test as soon as possible before returning to an ACC facility. Testing is now widely available. If you test positive, please report it on the ACC self reporting tool located here. Please do not come to campus if you are feeling • ill or if you test positive for COVID-19.
• Social Distancing - The college asks that we all continue to respect the personal space of others. We are encouraging 3 feet of social distancing.
• Identification - ACC ID badges or Student ID cards will be required for all employees and students upon entry.
