Visitor Guidance

 VISITORS AND GUESTS

• The College is defining visitors and guests differently
• A visitor is a person who is coming to campus for a short period of time and is not staying overnight
• A guest is a person who is staying overnight at the College 

• Visitors are permitted on campus and must be hosted by a faculty/staff member or student; or, they may visit the College through a coordinated admissions event or other College program. 
• The College may coordinate hosting overnight guests through established programs and overnight guests must be fully vaccinated and arrive on campus with a negative test taken within 72 hours.  

• All visitors to the campus are expected to complete the Visitor COVID-19 Attestation Form. Faculty, staff and student hosts are responsible for sharing this form with their visitor and collecting it from them. The signed form should be dropped off to the Campus Safety Gatehouse or a scan/photograph of the form can be emailed to studentlife@conncoll.edu (in the subject line, please write “Visitor COVID-19 Attestation Form”). 
• The form sets certain expectations for visitors–in order to protect the health and safety of our employees, students and community, all visitors are required to attest that they:
• Have with them COVID-19 related documentation required by the College, 
• Have performed a self-screening for COVID-19 symptoms, and 
• Have reviewed and agreed to abide by the COVID related protocols provided below and on the College’s COVID-19 Path Forward website. 
• Visitors will need to attest to having with them one of three of the following forms of documentation listed below. These documents will not be collected by the College, unless specified ahead of time, but it is expected that visitors have the documentation accessible should they be asked for it.  
• Documentation of being fully vaccinated 
• Documentation of a negative COVID-19 PCR test with 72 hours of arriving on campus 
• Documentation of having had COVID-19 within 90 days of arrival on campus

• If you or your department are hosting an event (e.g. speaker, performance) and the event will be open to the public, then the host(s) of the event is responsible for setting up a check-in area. This area is for campus community members to show their Camel ID demonstrating that they are part of our vaccination and testing expectations, and for those without a Camel ID they can be given the Visitor COVID-19 Attestation Form to complete.
• Unvaccinated dependent children: On the rare occasion that a faculty or staff member needs to bring their unvaccinated dependent children to campus, the children must be masked indoors and it is recommended outdoors when they are around people who are not part of their family (if they are able to wear a mask). The visit should be brief and preferably outside.
