Sacred Heart University got special permission from our COVID team to return to in-person labs last August with specific stipulations including masks, face shields, and gloves. We went to hybrid with classes online taught by faculty who received medical dispensation to continue online, otherwise we have been in-person since last fall with mask and physical distancing requirements. We will be fully in-person without physical distance requirements as of this fall. Faculty and students who have not provided documentation to HR and the health service respectively, of vaccination will have to continue to wear masks and get tested weekly.
