STUDENT LIFE Dorm Cleaning and Lounge Occupancy
travel to locations designated by NYS with widespread community transmission of COVID-19.
Keeping students healthy is our top priority, so we are putting together a cleaning plan for each room/hall to accomplish daily. That cleaning plan will include wip- ing down surfaces in the dorm room and sanitizing the shared bathrooms two times daily. We are requiring face coverings for students when leaving their personal rooms to visit other students. We are also limiting the number of students in dorm lounges (50% of occupan- cy) to meet the current guidelines. We are working with our Resident Directors and Healthcare Team to make sure the dorm is a safe living environment, whilst inten- tionally maintaining the community dynamic that makes the Bible Institute unique. Discipleship We are excited to continue in our discipleship efforts! Part of the unique WOLBI experience is that every student is connected in relationship with at least one staff member. However, this endeavor will look a lot different during the 2020-2021 school year. We are working and planning to make sure that our promise to disciple students is not hindered by our circumstances, but we are absolutely dedicated to the health and safety of our students and staff. Special Permissions to Leave During the entirety of the pandemic, we will be requiring students to submit special permission requests through the Student Life Department in order to travel out of state. Student Life will not grant special permission to
Dorm Life Because students in the same dormitory rooms are considered “members of the same household” per New York State Higher Education guidelines, we will be housing students according to their class year. Members of the same household are not required to follow physical distancing and face covering mandates. First- year students will be housed with first-year students, and second-year students will be housed with second- year students. This will allow us to more effectively operate the Academic Program while complying with New York State Higher Education Guidelines. Campus Visitors Campus visitors are to be invited guests only and are required to follow all health and safety protocols on campus. Each invited campus visitor must complete an online health screening form prior to arriving on campus. This form can be found at wol.to/c19screen . International Student Arrivals International students whose arrival date is impacted by delays in Student Visa processing caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will (with certain exceptions) be permitted to arrive up to a maximum of four weeks beyond the start of classes. Your Admissions Counselor will provide you with further details regarding this special arrangement. Any applicable quarantine requirements will be accommodated on campus.
