To help keep COVID off campus this semester all students will participate in “Test and Go” prior to moving in to Residence Halls or engaging in in-person learning. Test and go dates are January 27th and 28th for all residential students (other than approved early arrivers). Commuting students will test on January 29th.Students will come to campus on their assigned day, complete their COVID-19 test and shelter off campus or at home until they receive their test results. If you have not received your testing date please reach out to housing@enc.edu. Please check your email for further information and instruction regarding “Test and Go” that was sent from housing@enc.edu and testing@enc.edu.
Students, if you have tested positive for COVID-19 over the break, you will need to provide documentation to ENC Health Services of the positive COVID-19 test as well as documentation from your doctor clearing you to return to campus and resume in-person learning. If you are a student athlete who tested positive for COVID over the break, you will also need a statement from your doctor that you are cleared to play sports. Please fax your documentation to the Health Services office at 617-745-3928 or email to amy.nielson@enc.edu.
With the exception of approved early arrivers, student move-in will occur January 28th and 29th after students receive their ENC negative test results. Student should wait from communication from housing@enc.edu before coming back to campus to ensure a smooth move-in process. Please note that students cannot shelter on campus while awaiting test results, even if they possess negative PCR test from an external source. If a student tests positive, the College will contact the student and make arrangements for the student to move into isolation housing on campus or to isolate off-campus.
We will be engaging an eased re-entry process to help ensure all students participating in on-campus learning are COVID negative and ready to engage life on campus. Eased re-entry is designed to help minimize person-to-person transmission within the first week of class until all student receives a second COVID test. Further details on “Eased Entry” were sent to students on Wednesday, January 20th from Jeffrey.kirksey@enc.edu and to all employees on Thursday, January 21st from Nadine.pfautz@enc.edu.
Classes for all virtual and on-campus undergraduate student begin February 1, 2021! All undergraduate classes will be conducted online only the first week of February to help facilitate the “Eased Entry” process and allow students to obtain two Campus PCR test results before gathering in classes.
Student please ensure that your clearance process is complete by checking your ENC portal and communicating with the appropriate office. If you have questions related to clearance, please email clearance@enc.edu or the relevant campus office.
You will notice that the flu shot requirement has been removed from the clearance checklist due to a change in state policy. We still highly recommend that students receive a flu shot and students are still welcome to register their flu shot with Health Service.
Please note that students must be fully cleared to participate in Test and Go and to move on to campus. Clearances must be complete before arriving to campus.
For those participating in on-campus life this semester now is the time to start preparing yourself to mitigate exposure to COVID prior to returning to campus. We encourage you to avoid group gatherings and unnecessary travel to help stay COVID free!
We are excited to have you back on campus!! Campus is lonely without you!
