ON-CAMPUS ACCESS TO STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES

Fall 2020 classes are in full swing, and our focus shifts to ensuring our students have a successful semester as well as preparing for spring registration.Accessibility to campus-wide services for students who are on campus is critically important.

Recognizing this, we have adjusted staffing plans to provide this accessibility to services. The goal is to have both on-campus and virtual access to college-wide services and to deliver these services in a safe manner.

While on-campus staffing will still be limited, many offices which provide support services to students will be open such as, but not limited to, Admission & Registration, Bookstore, Business Office, Campus Safety, Cashier’s Office, Children’s Center, Counseling & Testing, Facility Services, Financial Aid, Human Resources, Library & Learning Services, Information Technology, School & College Partnership, Tommy’s Catering and Workforce Development.

As we have learned with the COVID-19 pandemic, we must remain flexible keeping in mind that we will have to continue to adjust in order to best serve our college community. Opening offices with limited staffing is the next step in what we hope is eventually a full return to normal operations.

ONLINE COVID-19 HEALTH SCREENING PROCESS

Brazosport College adjusted its health screening process as employees, students, and visitors come to 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.

You will need to fill out the questionnaire each day you 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 has 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.
