COVID-19 Community Health Policy

Progressive Warning Expectations

Updated as of January 13th, 2022

Reports of violations can be submitted directly to one of the following offices: Campus Life, Public Safety, Residential Education, or Human Resources. Human Resources oversees all employee violations and follow ups; Campus Life oversees all student violations and follow-ups. This is a progressive documentation system. The College may also determine that certain conduct can be classified as a second or third level violation without first resorting to the first levels of discipline.

The fall 2021 semester protocols for masks will remain in effect until further notice. All individuals, regardless of vaccination status, are required to wear an approved mask that covers your nose and mouth when in indoor public locations on campus, except when actively eating or drinking. Approved masks include cloth and surgical masks; we also advise use of KN95 or N95 masks.

First Level Violation: Official notification warning, opportunity to discuss with the hearing officer (must request within two business days).

Second Level Violation: Formal meeting, disciplinary probation, educational sanction, and other loss of privileges (determined at the discretion of the hearing officer). Student meets with the hearing officer to discuss compliance; it will be made clear that further violations could mean removal from campus activities. Communication will also be sent home as there may be a change in the student’s status.

If found responsible: minimum $50 fine, parental notification, disciplinary probation, educational sanction/compulsory service (minimum 10 hours).

Third Level Violation: Hearing to determine removal from campus activities. If found responsible, minimum $100 fine and potential removal from campus activities which can include, but not limited to: housing suspension (weekend, month, semester); practice from extracurricular activities, teams, shows; ability to attend activities; ability to continue membership in organizations, teams, or clubs. The respondent may either meet with a hearing officer or with a panel to determine continued status at the college.

Hearing Officers include designated staff members from the Dean’s Office, Residential Education, and other trained college staff.

Social Contract – Adherence to Community Health

As part of the Wagner College community, we rely on one another to personally take steps to ensure our health and safety on and off campus. We require all community members to agree and abide by the following requirements and expectations to minimize the spread of COVID-19. Please be advised that these expectations may evolve and can be adjusted by the College as circumstances change.

I pledge to take responsibility as a Wagner College community member to help minimize the spread of COVID-19 and other infections for my own health and the health of others. As a community member, I agree to:

Be Safe

Wear a face covering any time I am indoors – excluding my assigned residence hall room/suite/apartment – including but not limited to hallways, bathrooms, academic spaces, study/lounge spaces, and dining facilities
Self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19; abide by guidance from Health and Wellness when seeking medical attention.

Be Considerate

Remain mindful of community members that may be immunocompromised or live with others who are.
Stay positive, attentive, and helpful to anyone who may need support.

Be Smart

Wash hands frequently with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer.
Disinfect your work space, personal items, and living space regularly; limit sharing items.
Review each day’s schedule, plan ahead, and limit unnecessary travel.

Be Respectful

Practice a minimum of six feet for social distancing where possible and be aware of others’ personal boundaries.
Abide by all event and gathering restrictions as identified by the College and/or state or federal governments.
Stay home if you feel ill or after exposure to someone who is ill or has tested positive for COVID-19.
Wear a face covering when in indoor public spaces. You may feel great, but others around you could be vulnerable to the virus.

Be Together

Maintain connections through virtual tools.
Practice good personal hygiene.
Remind others to do their part.

I understand that due to ongoing changes in guidance and infection rates, the College may institute different or additional COVID-19 related limitations, restrictions or policies. I agree to comply with any and all additional or different restrictions as they are implemented.

I understand that if I fail to adhere to any of the foregoing safety measures I may be subject to consequences that include but are not limited to: warnings, loss of specific campus privileges, housing reassignment, loss of the privilege to live in College housing, or loss of permission to be on campus. Depending on how severe and/or pervasive the violation is, I may be sent home for the first violation or any combination of violations. In certain cases, violations may also result in formal disciplinary proceedings that may result in sanctions up to and including suspension or expulsion from the college; refunds will not be granted, nor will virtual learning be available.
