Daily Health Check & Self-Care

• I won't attend any in-person events if I am ill (exhibiting any COVID-19 like symptoms), including study sessions, functions and/or reporting for work.
  
  
• If I exhibit symptoms, and I am a student, I will contact Student Health Services or my healthcare provider to determine my next course of action; if I am a faculty or staff member, I will contact my healthcare provider.
  
  
• If I test positive for COVID-19 and I am a student, I will notify Student Health Services or my healthcare provider immediately and follow their guidance with respect to daily activities.
  
  
• If I test positive for COVID-19 and I am a faculty or staff member, I will notify my healthcare provider immediately and follow their guidance with respect to daily activities. 

Face Coverings & Personal Hygiene

• I will follow guidance of my city or state and wear a face covering or mask that covers the nose and mouth while in public spaces, except in those areas which have been determined safe for mask removal, like designated dining areas or when social distancing is possible.
  
  
• If I am a smoker, I will only remove my mask to smoke in designated areas, and I will maintain at least six feet of distance at all times.
  
  
• I will wash my hands frequently throughout the day, and for a minimum of 20 seconds with soap and water. When I am unable to wash my hands, I will use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
  
  
• I will avoid touching my face as much as possible.
  
  
• I will avoid sharing personal items that are not essential to be shared, such as phones.
  
  
• I will practice cleaning protocols in communal spaces.

Social Distancing

• I will maintain appropriate social distance from others—in most instances, a minimum of six feet—in any location.
  
  
• I will avoid large gatherings. In any such gatherings that are unavoidable, I will wear a mask and maintain safe distancing practices.
  
  
• I will not organize or initiate any gatherings that violate state or county ordinances.

Remote Learning & Engagement

• I will abide by course expectations, established by faculty, in synchronous class sessions and/or on syllabi.

Travel

• I understand that all University-related international travel is suspended for the time being, as is most domestic University-related travel. 

In Closing

I understand that as a member of the UArts community, I will play an important part in keeping our entire community healthy and safe. I understand that the standards outlined above and in other sections of the website will be upheld and viewed as addenda to the student, faculty and/or staff handbooks. Failure to comply with these standards and policies can result in disciplinary action.

I also understand that the expectations outlined above apply to all members of the UArts community, and it will take all of us doing all we can to reduce the risk of transmission. Should I see a community member not upholding the promise, I will feel empowered to kindly remind them of their pledge to the UArts Healthy Promise. If I myself am reminded, I will thank them and take the necessary steps to ensure my actions align with the UArts Healthy Promise. I also know that I may report incidents which are in conflict with the UArts Healthy Promise to healthypromise@uarts.edu.
