SUMMER 2021 STUDENT GUIDE TO - BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY
COMMITMENT TO AN INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY
Bucknell recognizes that each student has individual needs, and we are cognizant of the disparate effect the pandemic
is having on specific communities, particularly our Black students, faculty and staff. We also acknowledge that other
historically marginalized communities are experiencing their own unique challenges related to COVID-19. At Bucknell, we
remain committed to striving for an anti-racist campus, welcoming and inclusive to all in summer 2021 and beyond.

Bucknell University                                                                                                       1
STUDENT HEALTH AND SAFETY
Community Responsibility Agreement
In order to keep our community safe, students will be required to adhere to an agreement of community responsibility.

Face coverings, social distancing and holding one another accountable will be a priority as we work to mitigate the
risk of COVID-19. When you registered for summer housing, you were required to review and electronically sign the
statement below:
Bucknell University is a community of learners committed to supporting the health and safety of all members. We
believe we do our best work when we feel safe. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is therefore vital that all
community members engage in behavioral public safety measures intended to mitigate the spread of the virus. In so
doing, we show compassion and concern for those who are most susceptible. By participating as a member of the
campus community, you commit to the following:

     • Physical Distancing of at least 6 feet is expected in all spaces, when
       feasible. This includes classrooms, labs, hallways, offices, restrooms,                  6 feet
       common areas and outdoor spaces.

     • Face Coverings must be worn by all members of the community when
       in shared indoor spaces, including classrooms, labs, hallways, offices,
       restrooms and common areas. Face coverings are also required outside
       when you are less than 6 feet away from others. Face coverings are not a
       substitute for physical distancing and should be worn even when staying 6
       feet apart, especially in indoor spaces.

     • Respiratory Etiquette (e.g., proper covering of face when coughing or
       sneezing) is expected at all times.

     • Proper Hand Hygiene, including frequent washing with soap and water
       and/or the use of hand sanitizer, is expected.

     • COVID-19 Signage, regarding hallway and stairway directions, room
       capacity limitations and other notices, is to be followed at all times.

     • Reporting of Symptoms and Isolation when necessary. All community
       members are expected to consistently report symptoms and follow
       isolation and/or quarantine guidance from University medical officials.

As the state of the pandemic is fluid, modifications to these guidelines may occur over time. The University will provide
consistent, ongoing communication regarding any changes in behavioral guidance.

Thank you in advance for doing your part to keep the Bucknell campus and local community as safe and healthy
as possible.

Bucknell University                                                                                                     2
Testing and Contact Tracing
In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on campus, Bucknell has implemented a rigorous testing and contact
tracing program for all who live, work and study on campus, including students.
  Testing
  Fully vaccinated students do not need to participate in sequential COVID-19 testing this summer. Sequential testing
  is required for all students who have not submitted documentation of full vaccination to Student Health.
  Summer testing will be available on Tuesdays from 6 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. in the Graham Building. Students should use
  the Aura app to sign up for appointments and bring their phone and Bucknell ID with them to the test site.
  Download the Aura app through the Bucknell App, available in the Apple and Google Play app stores. Go to the
  Health and Wellness section of the app and look for the Herd Health icon. When you click the Herd Health icon, you
  will be prompted to download the Aura app.
  Contact Tracing
  Bucknell has coordinated its own contact tracing program to notify members of the campus community (students
  and employees) who have been in close contact with persons with confirmed cases of COVID-19, and to monitor
  exposure to COVID-19 on campus. This pertains to those who have not submitted documentation of full vaccination
  to Bucknell Student Health.

  If you have been in contact with someone with a confirmed case of COVID-19, a member of the Contact Tracing
  Team will call you and provide instructions. This call could come from a number you don’t recognize. It is important
  that you answer calls to your phone and comply with the instructions that the contact tracers provide. Depending
  on your exposure and vaccination status, you could be instructed to:

       • Quarantine in isolation housing for 10 days with release on day 11
       • Not quarantine, but monitor your health with the daily symptoms tracker in the Aura app and, if
         you experience symptoms, self-isolate and alert Bucknell Student Health

  If You Test Positive or Have Symptoms of COVID-19
  You will be called by a member of the Contact Tracing Team soon after receiving a positive test result for COVID-19,
  or if you report symptoms consistent with COVID-19.

  You will be asked to share the names of anyone at Bucknell you had close contact with beginning two days prior to
  the date of taking your positive test or two days before you began to experience symptoms. To protect the health
  of the community, it is imperative that you report all close contacts to contact tracers. As soon as you are able, you
  should begin making a list of these contacts so you are prepared when contact tracers call.

  Close contact is defined as being:
       • Within 6 feet, 15 minutes or more (regardless of face covering)
         or
       • Having personal contact

  Such persons might include:
       • Roommates
       • People you sat next to in class
       • Faculty or staff members with whom you were in close contact
       • People with whom you’ve eaten
       • Anyone with whom you’ve shared food, drinks or personal items
       • Anyone with whom you’ve had personal contact (kissing, hugging, etc.)

Bucknell University                                                                                                        3
The Contact Tracing Team will contact individuals on this list if they determine they need to quarantine. The Contact
  Tracing Team will also have access to GPS data collected from the Aura app as well as Wi-Fi connectivity point data
  from the campus network. Contact tracers may contact additional individuals based on this data. This data will be
  accessed only for contact tracing purposes. Bucknell contact tracing efforts will maintain privacy and confidentiality.

  Fully vaccinated students will not be required to quarantine unless they have symptoms of COVID-19, but may still
  be contacted by Bucknell contact tracers and should follow their instructions. Contact tracers will check vaccination
  documentation records with Bucknell Student Health.

  Bucknell’s Contact Tracing Team will only contact members of the Bucknell community (students, employees) with
  whom you have had close contact. Others outside the Bucknell community will not be contacted.

  Other Health Authorities
  Bucknell’s contact tracing program will not extend beyond the campus community, and will not contact those
  who are not University students or employees. You may also be contacted by other health authorities (such as the
  Pennsylvania Department of Health) for contact tracing purposes. Please answer these calls and comply with all
  instructions.

If You Think You Might Have COVID-19
It’s important to pay attention to your health and monitor any changes. Symptoms of COVID-19 include:
     • Fever or chills
     • Cough
     • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
     • Fatigue
     • Muscle or body aches
     • Headache
     • New loss of taste or smell
     • Sore throat
     • Congestion or runny nose
     • Nausea or vomiting
     • Diarrhea

If you experience any of these symptoms before you come to campus, we ask that you remain at home until your
symptoms have been resolved for at least 72 hours and you are cleared for COVID-19 by a medical professional. Tell
your health care professional about your recent travel or contact. Your health-care professional will work with your
state’s public health department and the CDC to determine if you need to be tested for COVID-19.

If your symptoms present when you are on campus, we ask that you isolate yourself to the greatest extent possible
and call Student Health at 570-577-1401. Do not go to Student Health. A staff member will ask you screening
questions to determine whether testing is necessary. Please do not attend events on or off campus during this time.

Bucknell University                                                                                                     4
Isolation and Quarantine
Bucknell will provide isolation housing in order to separate students who have confirmed and suspected cases of
COVID-19 (isolation) or may have been exposed to COVID-19 (quarantine). Isolation housing is located both in an
on-campus facility used expressly for this purpose and at a hotel near campus. Isolation housing is provided by the
University at no additional cost to you.

     • Isolation separates people who are known or reasonably believed to have been infected with the COVID-19
       virus from those who are not infected. If you test positive for COVID-19, with or without symptoms, you will be
       moved to isolation housing for 10 days and released on day 11.
     • Quarantine separates people who are believed to have been exposed to the COVID-19 virus from others who
       have not been exposed. If you have not been fully vaccinated* and had close contact with someone who tests
       positive for COVID-19 or has symptoms of COVID-19, you will quarantine for 10 days in isolation housing or
       your off-campus residence and be released on day 11.

                                                   FULLY VACCINATED*                      NOT FULLY VACCINATED*

 symptoms of COVID-19

  *You are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving your final vaccine dose (second shot of the Pfizer
  or Moderna vaccine, first shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine). Until this time, you must continue participating
  in the sequential testing program and quarantine if you are a close contact of someone with COVID-19, regardless
  of whether you have symptoms.

  Close contact is defined as being:
       • within 6 feet, 15 minutes or more (regardless of face covering)
       • or having personal contact

  Being Prepared
  All students should pack an emergency bag for use in case isolation housing is required at any point during the summer.
  Please have this bag available and ready to go at all times with 10 days’ worth of supplies. Suggested items to pack include:

       • Medications (both prescriptions and over-the-counter medications such as fever reducers and pain relievers)
       • Thermometer
       • Self-care items such as tissues, hand sanitizer, etc.
       • Cleaning wipes
       • Toiletry items (shampoo, soap, deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste and other personal care products)
       • Extra contact lenses or glasses and associated supplies
       • Healthy, nonperishable snacks such as nuts, dried fruits, granola or snack bars
       • Water bottle
  Items you use daily that cannot be packed ahead of time such as computers, phones, chargers, books or other school
  supplies should always be organized together and ready to access in the event you must move to isolation housing.

Bucknell University                                                                                                           5
Moving to Isolation Housing
       • As soon as you receive a positive test result, which could arrive at any time, immediately call Public Safety
         at 570-577-3333 to arrange transportation to isolation housing and ask to be connected with the on-call
         provider from Student Health for an evaluation prior to transfer. If you are moving to isolation housing for
         quarantine, transportation will be arranged for you.
       • Change into clean clothes (if able) and sanitize your hands in your room. Make sure your bag is packed and
         ready when Public Safety arrives.
       • If you live in a shared living space, separate yourself from others by staying in a specific room or area while
         awaiting the move to isolation housing.
       • Public Safety will arrive wearing personal protective equipment to transport you to your isolation room. They
         will knock on your door when they arrive. Put on your face covering before opening the door.

  What to Expect in Isolation Housing
  Isolation housing is located both in an on-campus facility used expressly for this purpose and at a hotel near campus.
  In isolation housing, you will have a private bedroom and bathroom, a refrigerator and microwave, and Wi-Fi
  internet with access to internal Bucknell resources available through the Bucknell VPN. You should remain in your
  assigned room in isolation housing except in emergencies (such as a fire alarm sounding) until you are cleared to
  leave by Bucknell Student Health. Additional details about what to expect are as follows:

       • Health monitoring: If you tested positive for COVID-19, you will receive daily telehealth visits from
         Bucknell Student Health Monday through Friday to monitor your condition. On weekends, you will be given
         instructions on how to contact an on-call provider to report development or worsening of symptoms. Watch
         your email for an invitation and link for this visit at an agreed upon time. Bucknell Student Health can be
         reached at 570-577-1401. In an emergency, contact Bucknell Public Safety at 570-577-1111 or dial 911.

       • Meals: Meals from Bucknell Dining will be delivered to your room. You will be provided a form where you can
         select from a menu of meal options, including salads, sandwiches and vegan and vegetarian dishes. Staff will
         leave meals outside the door to your room and knock to announce delivery, but will not enter your room.
         Wear your face covering when opening your door to retrieve the meal.

       • Alcohol: Alcohol, including for those over age 21, is not permitted in isolation housing.

       • Laundry Service: Laundry service will be provided through Wash Tubs. The University will cover the cost of
         laundry service one time during isolation.

       • Trash Disposal: Place your trash outside the door to your room. Remember to wear a face covering.

       • Package Delivery: If you receive notification that you have received a package to your campus address while
         in isolation housing you may forward your email notification to packages@bucknell.edu. A staff member will
         deliver your package to you in isolation housing. Packages will be delivered Monday–Friday. Packages may
         only be sent by mail. Packages dropped off by students, families or others are not permitted.

       • Guests: Guests, including other students in isolation housing, are not permitted in your isolation housing
         room at any time. You should remain in your room and not visit others in isolation housing.

       • Service and Emotional Support Animals: If you have a service or emotional support animal on campus,
         alert your community director.

Bucknell University                                                                                                        6
Release From Isolation Housing
  You must remain in isolation housing until you receive notice that you have been released.

  Students who test positive for COVID-19 will generally be released on the 11th morning following the day of their
  positive COVID-19 test if they have not had a fever without the use of fever-reducing medications for at least 24
  hours and other symptoms have improved. If symptoms persist you could be required to remain longer. When you
  are released from isolation housing you will be released from participation in the sequential testing program for the
  rest of the summer.

  Students in isolation housing for quarantine will be released on day 11 if they do not experience symptoms after
  10 days. Following your release from quarantine, use the Aura app to schedule a testing appointment for the next
  sequential testing day. Students in quarantine for close contact will receive notification of instructions to schedule a
  COVID-19 test at the quarantine testing location once during their quarantine (generally at about day 5-7 since their
  last exposure).

  Please note: The Pennsylvania Department of Health may contact you. However, release from isolation is
  determined by the University due to our congregate living situation. You must remain in isolation housing until
  instructed to leave by the University.

  If You Prefer to Return Home
  In order to protect public health, returning to your permanent residence is not advised.

  If you receive a positive test result and choose to isolate at your permanent residence, you should respond to
  your Team Dynamix email to state that you are leaving campus. If you are already in isolation housing at this time,
  do not return to your on-campus residence before leaving. Continue daily symptom tracking and schedule televisits
  with a home provider.

  In order to return to campus following home isolation for a positive COVID-19 diagnosis, you will need a clearance
  letter from your home health provider. The letter should state that you have met the CDC criteria for release from
  isolation following a positive COVID-19 case. Email the letter to medicalrecords@bucknell.edu or fax it to Student
  Health at 570-577-3570 ahead of your return and also bring a copy with you on the date you return to campus.
  Student Affairs will contact you to confirm that you may return to campus. You may not return to campus until you
  have received this clearance.

  If you are identified as a close contact and leave campus for the quarantine period, you will be required to
  complete the entire 10-day quarantine off campus. During this time, you should get a test between days 5 and 7.
  If the results are negative, you may return to campus on day 11. If the results are positive, contact Student Health
  immediately for further guidance. If you choose to stay home longer than 11 days, you will need a COVID-19 PCR
  test taken 72 hours prior to your arrival back to campus. Results of this test should be sent to deanofstudents@
  bucknell.edu.

  Removal from Assigned Space
  At any time, Bucknell may request or require a student to leave campus when their continued presence in the
  housing community poses a health or safety risk for community members. Residential students are required to
  comply with requests from the University to leave their assigned space due to COVID-19 or other public health
  emergencies. Failure to do so is a violation of the Student Code of Conduct and may subject a student to emergency
  removal from their assigned space.

Bucknell University                                                                                                      7
Face Coverings
The virus that causes COVID-19 is thought to spread person-to-person mainly through respiratory droplets produced
when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who
are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. It is possible for a person to spread the virus even when they do not
know they are infected (pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic). Cloth face coverings provide a layer of protection to help
prevent respiratory droplets from traveling through the air and onto other people.
Face coverings must be worn by all members of the Bucknell community when in shared indoor spaces including
classrooms, labs, hallways, offices, restrooms and common areas. Face coverings are not a substitute for physical
distancing and should be worn even when staying 6 feet apart, especially in indoor spaces. Face coverings should also
be worn outside. It is recommended that each student provide their own face coverings as well.
If you have a medical condition that prevents you from wearing a face covering, you will be able to request
an accommodation through the Office of Accessibility Resources in accordance with the University Disability
Accommodation Policy for Students.

Social Distancing
As noted in the Community Responsibility Agreement, physical distancing of at least 6 feet is expected in all spaces,
when feasible. This includes classrooms, labs, hallways, offices, restrooms, common areas and outdoor spaces.

Cleaning
Bucknell’s Facilities Department has enhanced its cleaning and disinfecting protocols to meet the recommendations of
the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), using Environmental Protection Agency-approved products that
are effective against the COVID-19 virus. Here are some of the key steps Bucknell Facilities has taken to keep you healthy:
       • Hand-sanitizing stations are located at key areas within all campus buildings.

       • High-touch areas, surfaces and objects across campus are disinfected using EPA-approved
         products. Examples of high-touch areas include public/common spaces such as restrooms,
         lounges, lobbies and hallways. We give extra attention to doorknobs, light switches, door
         handles, hand railings, bathroom stalls, sink handles, grab bars and water fountains.

       • Each residence hall has an assigned custodian who will focus on cleaning high-touch areas.

       • Cleaning supplies are available in communal bathrooms of each residence hall, and students
         are encouraged to take personal responsibility for disinfecting the space between regular
         custodial cleaning.

       • Students who live in residential housing with individual bathrooms (including all South Campus
         Apartments and the Gateways) should bring their own cleaning supplies and are encouraged
         to disinfect their bathrooms frequently.

       • Each academic building has an assigned custodian who will focus on cleaning high-touch
         common areas throughout the day. Cleaning supplies are provided in classrooms, labs and
         conference rooms. Users will be asked to clean desks and high-touch areas after each class/
         lab/meeting.

       • In restrooms, custodians disinfect toilets and toilet handles, urinals and urinal handles, sinks
         and sink faucets, paper/soap/feminine hygiene dispensers, floors, stall door handles, and
         restroom entrance handles and push plates. Paper dispensers have replaced air hand dryers.

Bucknell University                                                                                                       8
Mental Health
Now more than ever, we recognize the importance of paying attention to and taking care of our mental health. We can
all play a role in creating a supportive and safe community. Taking care of ourselves involves acknowledging feelings,
practicing compassion for self and others, prioritizing meaningful and genuine connections, taking time to slow down,
setting limits to media consumption, focusing on activities that spark joy, and keeping our bodies hydrated, nourished
and moving daily.

We want to reassure you that feeling uncertain and uneasy or experiencing increased sadness, worry, loneliness, grief
and pretty much any other emotion makes a lot of sense. It means you’re human and you’re not alone. However, if
you find yourself unable to function or disconnecting from things that are usually important to you, we recommend
checking in with a mental health professional at the Counseling & Student Development Center (CSDC).

  Support Resources
  The CSDC will continue to use telehealth (two-way video) to provide mental health services including individual
  counseling, consultation and crisis management for students living on campus and in the Lewisburg area. Counselors
  will be available weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for phone consultations to discuss concerns and available support
  resources at the CSDC and within the campus community. Individuals are strongly encouraged to call the CSDC
  to speak with a counselor instead of walking into the center. All staff and students will be required to adhere to all
  recommended health guidelines during in-person meetings. Support remains available 24/7 for urgent mental health
  needs by calling 570-577-1604 and selecting option 2.

  The CSDC website offers numerous resources for students, including information about caring for yourself and
  others, tolerating uncertainty, coping with grief and loss, self-compassion, recognizing a student in distress and

RESIDENTIAL LIVING
Housing
Living and learning together is a critical element of the residential experience. It will be important that all students
exhibit care for fellow Bucknellians in all living spaces by taking ownership of your space — keeping it clean, holding
one another accountable and following good health practices.

Housing Assignments
All questions regarding room assignments or summer move-in should be directed to Housing Services. Please contact
housing@bucknell.edu or 570-577-1195.

  Policies and Practices
  To keep our residential community as healthy as possible, students must abide by these policies and practices
  for summer.
       • Face coverings. Face coverings will be required to be worn everywhere within your
         residential space when you are outside of your individual room.

Bucknell University                                                                                                        9
• Common areas. Instructions for cleaning will be posted within common areas of campus
         housing (community kitchens, lounges, etc.). Please follow guidelines before and after use of
         the space. All kitchen accessories should be kept in your room.

       • Gatherings in residence halls. Students living in University residence halls may host only one
         guest per resident in their room or University apartment at any time. (For example, residents of
         a double room may entertain only two guests at any one time).

Visitor and Guest Policy
During the summer, only Bucknell students in residence on campus will be allowed in campus housing. Students in
residence may visit Bucknell students living in other residence halls, but will only have card access to their own campus
residence. No outside visitors will be permitted in campus housing, including family members.

Downtown Shuttle
The Downtown Shuttle will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays between 3 p.m. and 6:55 p.m. throughout
the summer. Passengers must wear face coverings at all times.

Students seeking vaccination can use the Downtown Shuttle for transport to and from Evangelical Community
Hospital as well as the Weis Markets and Walmart pharmacies.

STUDENT EXPECTATIONS
Keeping the community healthy during the pandemic will take an ongoing commitment from all of us. We need
everyone to do their part to keep the Bucknell campus and our neighbors safe. Please take a moment to review the
COVID-19 and Public Health-Informed Conduct Policies below.

The health and safety of Bucknell University students, faculty and staff is a fundamental priority in our community. Our
commitment to fostering an environment that demonstrates respect for the health and safety of self and others is
highlighted in our Community Responsibility Agreement, and this commitment is essential during the COVID-19 pandemic.
All students will be expected to follow official University, state and federal guidelines regarding on-campus and off-campus
behaviors promoted to mitigate and/or contain the COVID-19 virus (e.g., physical distancing, face coverings, etc.).

As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is fluid, students are expected to be attentive to ongoing updates from the
University, as well as the state of Pennsylvania, and practice fidelity in response to this guidance and instruction.

Prohibited conduct in the Bucknell University Student Handbook of particular importance in the context of the
COVID-19 pandemic includes the following:
       • Failure to act in a manner that reflects maturity, social responsibility and respect toward the person and
         property of others and specifically engaging in conduct that threatens the health or well-being of another.

       • Failure to act in a manner that reflects respect for one’s own health and well-being and specifically engaging
         in conduct that threatens the health and safety of oneself and/or others.

       • Failure to act in a manner that reflects respect toward the policies, procedures and laws that are in place to
         maintain and support community standards of the University and beyond and specifically failure to comply
         with University policy, agreements and/or the directions of University officials, law enforcement officers or
         emergency response/medical personnel acting in performance of their duties.

       • Failure to act in a manner that reflects respect toward the policies, procedures and laws that are in place
         to maintain and support community standards of the University and beyond and specifically violating any
         University policy, rule or regulation published in hard copy or available electronically on the University website.

Bucknell University                                                                                                            10
When the action of a student or student organization violates Bucknell’s expectations of community conduct, those
actions are subject to a process of review and resolution by the Dean of Students Office. The procedures employed
for the resolution of alleged conduct violations may be found in the Student Conduct Process section of the Bucknell
University Student Handbook. Violations of these public health guidelines may lead to probation or suspension from
the institution.

Please recognize that behavior both on and off campus is subject to being cited.

Personal Travel
Fully vaccinated students who have submitted documentation of their vaccination to Student Health may freely travel
throughout the summer.

Students who are not fully vaccinated are discouraged from summer travel.

DINING
Dining is available in the Bison this summer Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

  B-Eats Food Pantry
  The B-Eats food pantry will continue to operate this summer Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the
  Elaine Langone Center, Room 217.

FITNESS AND RECREATION
The Kenneth G. Langone Athletics & Recreation Center (KLARC) will be open to faculty, staff and enrolled Bucknell
students over the summer. Our operating plan prioritizes the health and well-being of our patrons and staff, taking
into account guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and recommendations from the
Pennsylvania Department of Health and local governmental authorities.

  KLARC Hours*
       • The KLARC will be open on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on weekends from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

       • Kinney Natatorium will offer general recreation swim hours on weekdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

  Reservations Required
  Reservations are required to use the fitness center, rec swim and group fitness classes this summer. Reservations
  must be made at klarc.bucknell.edu. (Instructions for using the online reservation system can be found here.)

  All users will be required to scan in at the front entrance monitor station using a valid BUID and go directly to their workout
  venue. Once the workout is finished, users are asked to check out and exit the facility through the main entry doors.

  For everyone’s health and safety, we ask that all users follow directional and information signage, staff instructions
  and campus mitigation strategies that prioritize physical distancing and sanitation. Facility signage will remind all
  users to wash or sanitize hands before, during and after exercise and strength equipment use. Cleaning supplies will
  also be provided throughout the facility.
