WELCOME, TITANS! Terra State Community College is committed to providing an excellent education for every student in an environment that maintains the health, safety, and well-being of our entire campus community. The challenges surrounding COVID-19 require a commitment to shared responsibility, and every one of us must be proactive in maintaining our joint safety and health. We are all accountable to one another and the entire Terra State community. TERRA STATE’S COMMITMENT TO SAFETY Terra State has initiated safety policies requiring sign-in, temperature screening, face coverings, physical distancing, hand hygiene, and cleaning protocols to ensure our community's health. The College has intensified cleaning and disinfection of surfaces and objects that are frequently touched including doorknobs, light switches, desktops, sink handles, and countertops. Furniture has been spaced out to achieve at least six feet of physical distancing, and tables have been marked off to show where it is permissible to sit. Outside entrances are open to Buildings A, B, D, E, and I. Hours for each building are posted below. All campus buildings are closed on weekends.

Roy Klay Hall (A): Monday-Thursday, 8am-5pm General Technologies (B): Monday-Thursday, 8am-10pm; Friday 8am-5pm Marsha S. Bordner Arts & Health Technologies Center (D): Monday -Thursday, 8am-7pm Engineering Technologies Building (E): Monday-Thursday, 8am-5pm; Friday 11am-3pm Rutherford B.

Students must wear a mask when entering a building through the designated entrances, sign in, and have their temperature scanned. When leaving, students will sign out and leave through the designated exits. Exterior doorways to the Quad and Building C will be locked. Smoking areas have been made available near the designated entrances. It is vitally important that you acquaint yourself with all COVID-19 related policies and procedures on campus, particularly those related to Health & Safety, and maintain all safety requirements. These procedures are constantly being reviewed and updated and are subject to change, so please continue to check the terra.edu COVID-19 website. STUDENT SAFETY PROTOCOLS Students who fail to follow these policies are in violation of the Terra State Community College Code of Conduct and may be subject to a student conduct referral. Specifically, if you fail to meet

any College policy, rule, or regulation published in hard copy, posted on campus or available

electronically on the College's website”.

To adhere to COVID-19 policies and protocol, students must:

Wear face masks inside all buildings — unless they are inside their private residence hall room, office, or other enclosed space where they are alone.

Wear face masks outdoors whenever they cannot maintain at least six feet of distance from others.

Practice healthy hygiene including handwashing. Additional stations with hand sanitizer are located throughout campus.

Utilize the sanitizer and disinfectant provided in each classroom to clean their class stations and dining areas before and after use.

Leave classroom chairs and furnishings as arranged. SYMPTOM MONITORING Currently, COVID-19 symptoms include one or more of the following:

Cough Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing Chills, or a fever of 100.4° F (37.5° C) or higher Congestion or runny nose Muscle or body aches New loss of taste or smell Sore throat Fatigue Headache Nausea or vomiting Diarrhea

Students are asked to follow these protocols each day:

Students must monitor themselves daily using a digital self-screening symptom app, such as the CDC's self-screening symptom tool. Should a student experience a possible COVID-19 infection, the screening tool will advise them to self-isolate until they consult with a medical provider — such as a local Urgent Care facility or their primary care provider. As with any illness, students who are ill will be encouraged to seek appropriate medical care through their primary medical provider. If a student needs to be isolated or quarantined, we will ask them to return to their permanent home until it is safe to return to campus. If a student has extenuating circumstances that prevent them from leaving the College, arrangements will be made for them to isolate or quarantine in Fremont, Ohio.
