Since COVID-19 will remain a reality, we will continue to review and require adherence to appropriate health and safety measures. We are confident that Beloit’s spirit of “self-care is community care” will allow us to succeed in keeping our community safe, in-person, and as close to “normal” as possible.

Since its formation, the COVID-19 Task Force has consistently evaluated changing conditions and emerging information with the primary goal of our campus being a safe place for everyone, including students and staff who remain on campus and those who will come to campus as the fall semester begins. The Task Force’s approach is to layer protective practices, including encouraging vaccination and requiring testing before coming to campus for unvaccinated individuals, wearing masks, and physical distancing.

We also hope that those who are able to get the vaccine will take it, as it provides the greatest amount of protection. We understand that for health and other reasons, some individuals may not be able to take the vaccine.
