COVID-19 Back to Campus
• Effective June 1, 2020, EO 20-63, authorizes colleges and universities to conduct in-
person classes (credit and non-credit) and activities (ex., testing, student services,
advising, internships, clinical rotations, customized training, campus visits, etc.) across
all programs to all students, as long as:
• Those services cannot be provided through a distance learning model
• Those than can work from home, should work from home
• The group size is no larger than 10 (including instructors)*
• Institutions establish and implement a COVID-19 Preparedness Plan
• Currently working on the COVID-19 Preparedness Plan
• App for health screening – daily
• Masks, cleaning, social distancing, wash your hands, expectations, etc
• Back to Campus work group will provide guidance on how and whenCOVID-19 Back to Campus
COVID-19 Mask Guidance • Evolving • Respect for everyone • WSU is purchasing 10,000 masks • Based on current CDC recommendations, faculty and staff on the WSU Winona campus are expected to wear cloth face coverings (masks) in public settings where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain • Please have a mask on your person at all times. You may wish to have more than one mask to allow for adequate laundering • Students and faculty in internships, clinical, and other experiential learning settings may have to take additional respiratory precautions based on the specific setting, practice, and host site guidelines and expectations
COVID-19 Mask Guidance
• Campus guidelines – Maybe adjusted as we learn more around respiratory etiquette
• Masks are required:
• In the classroom when you are not speaking
• In campus spaces(indoor and outdoor) where physical distancing is difficult to maintain (i.e.
within six (6) feet of another person)
• Masks are highly encouraged:
• When you are inside a building (even when physical distancing is possible)
• Masks are optional:
• When you are outdoors and physical distancing is easy to maintain
• In a private office/motor vehicle with no other individuals presentCOVID-19 Travel Update
• Can faculty and staff travel outside of Minnesota for college or university related
purposes?
• No. The Chancellor has indefinitely suspended both domestic and international travel outside of
Minnesota for purposes related to college, university, and Minnesota State system official business.
This means any travel where college or university resources would be spent on travel or attendance or
if the employee would be on paid status during the event or session. No end date.
• In-State travel is allowed if social distancing measures are followed
• WSU has suspended all domestic and international WSU-sponsored group travel until
Spring Break (March 8-12, 2021). This includes any student organization travel as well
as faculty-led courses to domestic or international locations.COVID-19 Isolation Guidance • Employees and students are no longer required to isolate for 14 days if they return from domestic travel • CDC reports COVID-19 cases and deaths have been reported in all 50 states. The virus spreads through community contact. • Travel increases your chances of getting infected and spreading COVID-19, staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others from getting sick • While system office directives do not limit personal travel, for the safety and health of yourself and others around you we encourage you to carefully consider any personal domestic or international travel and self-monitoring upon return.
COVID-19 Work Groups • President’s Cabinet • Mn State Systemwide COVID-19 Contact Group • Weekly meetings since March • COVID-19 Coordinating Group • Weekly meetings since February • COVID-19 Back to Campus Group • New group that will provide guidance on returning employees/departments • COVID-19 Education Group • Developing educational materials around COVID-19 for campus community • COVID-19 Fall Classroom Instruction Group • Weekly meetings since April

“I’m an international student who is yet to arrive at WSU, my family and I
are understandably concerned about me coming to the United States at
this point of time. Traveling internationally would greatly increase the
chances of me being infected, not to mention that it is an incredibly
turbulent time for America. With protests and mass gatherings inevitably
increasing the spread of coronavirus, I’m not comfortable returning to
the campus. My question is, can I stay at home if I don’t feel safe
returning to the campus?”For students with courses completely online, with the
exception of an in-person lab once a week, will an online
alternative be available for that lab so that the student may
continue to live at home? Or, could alternative housing be
available for one night a week?My sophomore son received his updated schedule for fall, and
it shows all online courses. Has the decision already been
made that all classes will be online? We already are locked
into a rental lease for June-June.My dad is in the “at-risk” category. By going back to school, I cannot visit home before quarantining for two weeks. What accommodations are you making for students who are at risk or have a family member/significant other who are at risk?
Is the 55 sq. ft rule a hard-and-fast rule for everything on
campus? I’ve seen guidance from a variety of places for 28 sq.
ft and 36 sq. ft. What about things like club sports and athletic
practices?What do you foresee spring semester classes looking like? Will
they be mostly in person or online?What are you going to do for students who no longer want to
take classes for the Fall 2020 semester due to classes being
moved online? Will the university work with them if they want
to come back for spring semester (given spring semester
classes would be in person)?If students opt to take classes at a technical or community
college instead of Winona in the fall because all of their classes
have moved online, will the university help those students to
make sure they are taking classes with credits that will
transfer?Enrollment Management and Student Life
• Admissions
• Campus Tours
• June Registration 2020 (June 16-19)
• Residence Halls and Campus Dining
• Living Spaces
• Mobile Ordering Apps
• Transportation and Shuttles
• Modified seating and number of trips
• Safely Back to CampusHow can you promise social distancing outside of the
classroom? College students constantly go to parties, bars,
restaurants, and other student’s houses. This can expose many
people to the virus.Can a college or department hold a traditional career fair
during the fall semester? If so, are there requirements relating
to the maximum number of participants who can attend at one
time?What plans are underway for decision-making regarding on-
campus extracurricular programming? I am asking specifically
about such events as Common Book, Lyceum, Film Series,
University Theme events, Inclusion & Diversity events, other
speaker series, festivals, etc. normally held in our
auditoriums. Our campus is normally quite rich with such
events, many of them closely connected to curriculum. Will
there be some established guidelines or governance regarding
the reservation and use of facilities for extracurricular events?If we are able to meet in a face to face group for our
organization, can we have food brought in? We normally order
pizza. If we can have food brought in, is there special
accommodations we should make for Covid19 in having it
available.Student clubs What is the general protocol for student group meetings when returning in the fall? For student groups, will guest speakers be allowed on campus? Can student groups participate in community volunteer activities? Can student groups take field trips via bus or other forms of group transportation? Can student groups have social activities -- for example a grill-out off campus? Once protocol is determined for returning in the fall, is this expected to be re- evaluated intermittently during the semester?
With there be a reduced cost to tuition due to the amount of
classes that we were expecting to take in person that are now
being moved to an online format? If so, how much would that
reduction be? If not, why?If a student who has already paid for the application to live in
on campus housing next year has all of their classes moved
online, will the university be refunding the $200 fee to sign up
for on campus housing?Next COVID-19 All University Update Meeting
