COVID-19 Operating Plan

This site provides updates and resources for the Grace College & Seminary community regarding COVID-19 and its impact on our campus.

The following protocols are based on state health recommendations and in consultation with county health authorities. Recognizing the changing nature of COVID-19, these plans will be reviewed, and any updates will be communicated to the campus community.

我们乐观地相信，我们以基督为中心的社区在未来的一年里会蓬勃发展，因为我们以恩典的方式生活。

Love your neighbor as yourself.

以下是有关隔离和检疫的一般指导方针。具体的协议细节将由健康中心提供。

Isolation if Infected

Grace will provide symptomatic testing in the Health Center at no charge to the student. Students who test positive for COVID-19 will go into isolation.

• Student meals will be delivered to students isolating on campus.
• Students will complete their work and attend classes virtually while in isolation.
