1. What safety procedures are in place at the BSC?

All participants are required to fill out the CPP Student Health Screener prior to coming to campus and follow the CPP Safer Return to Campus Guidelines. Physical distancing is no longer required but it is still encouraged wherever feasible. Cleaning supplies will be made available for participating students to clean their assigned area as needed. Beginning April 2, 2022, masks will be strongly recommended but not required for indoor settings on campus. Though no longer required, wearing a mask indoors is strongly recommended, and it continues to be a highly effective way to protect yourself and our community from the spread of the COVID-19 virus and variants. The university will continue to provide medical grade surgical masks and KN95 masks to all students, faculty and staff at no charge. General access to masks on campus, specifically KN95s, are also available at Student Success Centers (including the BRIC Service Desk, the BSC Conference and Events desk, and the BSC Games Room) and the Student Services Building (SSB).

3. Can I use the Solaris Lounge to attend an online class?

Absolutely! In fact, we encourage it! However, we do ask that you come prepared by bringing your own headphones with microphone capabilities to reduce the noise level for other students who will also be using the space to attend an online class.
