Classroom Mask Policy
All students are required to wear masks in the classroom and on campus unless they have an approved accommodation through Guttman’s Office of AccessABILITY Services (accessabilityservices@guttman.cuny.edu). Students who do not comply will be referred to the Dean of Students for possible disciplinary action.
Course Policy on Illness
If you are not feeling well, do not come to campus. If you are staying home due to illness, email your professors and they will provide you with accommodations to complete your coursework remotely.
If you are COVID positive or think you may have been exposed to COVID 19, do the following:
- If you are on campus, go home and call your health provider.
- Contact Elie Yoesoep, the Campus Coronavirus Liaison and report your status: Yoesoep@guttman.cuny.edu.
- Follow the advice of your health professional and Ms. Yoesoep about your presence on campus (when you can return to class, if you need to quarantine, etc.).
All reports of COVID exposure on campus will result in contact tracing and you will be notified by the Division of Student Engagement if you have been exposed and must quarantine and when you may return to campus.
In-Person Attendance Expectations
Students are expected to attend all in-person sessions for hybrid courses. In-person sessions will begin on the date specified by the instructor. In-person sessions will take place once a week after that date. Make sure to check your Guttman email before you come to class each week. Instructors will notify students via email if there are any changes to the schedule due to COVID exposures or the need to quarantine.
