REMINDER OF NEW COVID-19 HEALTH SCREENING PROCESS

As a reminder, Brazosport College adjusted its health screening process as employees, students, and visitors come to campus. Instead of a drive-up health screening at the C-Wing, you are required to complete an online COVID-19 Health Screening questionnaire before arriving on campus.

The COVID-19 Health Screening questionnaire can be accessed inEnglishorSpanishby visitingwww.www.d-onis.com/screening. This questionnaire has been designed to be quick and simple to fill out, and can be easily accessed through all internet browsers, smartphones, and tablets.

Please note, the questionnaire has changed slightly. Instructions are provided below as well at the top of the online Health Screening questionnaire.

Instructions for completing the Health Screening questionnaire:

Answer all of the questions by either leaving them in the "YES" position if you are experience the noted symptom or moving the sliderleftto the "NO" position if you arenotexperiencing the noted symptom, depending on whether the option applies to you.

  • If you are using a phone, we recommend you tap or swipe each option.
  • If you are using a computer, we recommend clicking each slider to make your selections.

Make sure to double-check your responses to ensure you are providing the most accurate information.

You will need to fill out the questionnaireeach dayyou intend on coming to the Brazosport College campus.Once completed, you will be shown either a green check mark with “APPROVED FOR ENTRY” if you have passed, or a red exclamation mark with “STAY HOME, STAY SAFE” if you failed, as well as your name, and the date you completed the questionnaire. If you arrive on campus without completing the Health Screening questionnaire, you can complete it using your smartphone. If you do not have access to a computer or smartphone, computer stations are available at Human Resources located in the C-Wing lobby as well as in the Library located in the center of campus. Other computer locations may be listed in future updates.

Brazosport College will have an increased focus on safety monitoring to promote safety protocols of social distancing, wearing a face covering or mask, practicing good hygiene, etc. Once on campus, have either the confirmation email or confirmation screen of your completed questionnaire available as you may be asked at random to show proof of completing the self-screening tool. Audits within the health screening system will also be conducted to ensure self-screenings are being completed.

Upon arrival to campus, you will be able to access all parking lots and enter campus through most entrances.To provide clarification, face masks or facial coverings are required for all students, employees, and visitors (ages 10 and up) any time on campus.The exceptions are: if you are walking, running, or biking on the trails; if you are in your vehicle; if you are alone in your office with the door closed; if you are a welding student actively welding and wearing a welding face shield; and, if you are an instructor lecturing students, you may wear a face shield instead of a face mask in addition to maintaining 6ft. of distance. Otherwise, all individuals, students, faculty, staff, grounds keepers and contractors are to wear a face covering/mask.

Anyone that does not pass the COVID-19 Health Screening questionnaire should not come to campus. Everyone that passes should be prepared to show the confirmation email.

These procedures are subject to change, so it's vital that you check yourBrazosport College emailfor updates before heading to campus.
