Procedure No. 208.3

Face Coverings

We aim to foster a sense of shared experience and common purpose, along with a collective responsibility for each other's well-being and for the well-being of the College as a whole. The conditions of the COVID-19 global pandemic require a shift in our priorities. During this time our policies and our actions are governed by a public health perspective, focused on the well-being and safety of the community as a whole (students, faculty, and staff) rather than on individual preference. Therefore,

If College policy, procedures and/or public health orders require wearing face coverings, students are required to wear face coverings that cover the nose and mouth whenever indoors on campus.  Face coverings are also required outdoors on campus when physical distancing of six feet or more is not possible.

Failing to abide by face covering requirements will result in being refused service and is a violation of the Student Code of Conduct.  The college also reserves the right to remove a student from campus for failure to wear a face covering.  After the first violation, future violations may lead to more impactful sanctions including disciplinary probation, suspension, etc.

Medical Accommodations

Students unable to wear a mask or face covering due to a medical condition or other protected reason should email The Center for Accessibility at cfa@atlanticcape.edu.
