Missouri S&T’s summer session begins Monday, June 7.
Missouri S&T’s COVID-19 Incident Command Team (ICT) announced on June 3 updated guidelines for in-person classes during the summer session. These new guidelines align more closely with the latest direction from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and with campus guidelines for outdoor spaces, offices and conference rooms, and common areas.
Under the new guidelines, facial coverings will not be required in classrooms or labs if you are fully vaccinated. Social distancing will continue in classrooms, which have been configured to allow for social distancing. Social distancing is not required in other campus spaces, including common areas, offices, conference rooms or outdoors.
If you are not fully vaccinated, the ICT recommends that you protect yourself and others by continuing to wear a facial covering and practice social distancing. These are recommendations but not requirements.
No individual is required to disclose or provide proof of COVID-19 immunization.
Missouri S&T continues to encourage all unvaccinated individuals to become fully vaccinated as soon as possible. S&T’s goal is to achieve a vaccination rate of 85% or greater. For updates on vaccination opportunities, please visit S&T’s vaccination page.
To better support the campus community, the S&T campus Learning Transition Team has launched a new website, keeplearning.mst.edu, with resource links for students, faculty and staff regarding changes to academic operations and delivery of courses for the spring semester. This website will be updated with the latest information and guidelines to make sure you stay connected and keep learning. This website is in addition to – and does not replace – the UM System’s website, keeplearning.umsystem.edu.
The University of Missouri System has posted a teaching resources website to help faculty maintain teaching continuity and uninterrupted learning in the event of a campus closure. In addition, the Keep Learning website provides online learning resources for students, instructors and staff. See also the UM System’s Remote Work/Remote Teaching FAQ.
Access to these online resources, services and digital technologies is critical:
