Summer Academy Covid Community Expectations and Policies - Santa Fe

Santa Fe COVID Protocols

The safety and health of the Summer Academy and the larger St. John's community is our top priority. The below policies and procedures are in effect this year in an effort to keep our community safe. We expect all Summer Academy attendees to follow the below guidelines and requirements in support of this effort.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to differences in state and local requirements, our campus locations do have some variation in our COVID policies and procedures. While we have worked to align as much as possible, if your student is attending Summer Academy sessions at both campuses, please pay special attention to these requirements and how they differ between our campuses.

Out-of-state students will be permitted to attend Summer Academy. There are no travel-related quarantine requirements in the state of New Mexico or Maryland at this time but may be subject to change.

***NEW COVID-19 information, updated: June 9, 2021***

Vaccination will not be required to attend Summer Academy, but it is recommended!
Vaccinated students will NOT need to take a COVID test upon arrival
All unvaccinated students attending a Santa Fe session will need to take COVID-19 test before they travel and thus, present a negative test result when they arrive. After they arrive, they will take a COVID-19 test with the Summer Academy Nurse to clear them to move into their dorm and participate. *Please answer NO for the vaccination question below for more details, if your student is unvaccinated*.
Unvaccinated students staying multiple weeks will need to take another COVID test on Saturdays in order to continue their participation.
FOR ALL STUDENTS: Please see "Important Information for Students and Families", located on your Portal, for UPDATED arrival and registration details.

Unvaccinated Students and their parents/guardians must agree to follow the 3 steps below in order to participate in Summer Academy.

1. Unvaccinated students will need to take a covid-19 test before they travel, and thus present a negative test result when they arrive on campus - We suggest using the over-the-counter COVID-19 at-home test, sold at Walgreens across the US called BinaxNOW - it is a quick, 15 min test that can be self-administered.

2. After they arrive, they will need to take a rapid COVID-19 test administered by the Summer Academy Nurse. *easy nose swab, results in 15 mins.

3. After the results for this test confirm your student is negative for COVID-19, your student is free to move into their dorm and participate in Summer Academy.

*In the event that your student plans to stay multiple weeks, we will re-test them for COVID-19 on Saturdays.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the Santa Fe Director- audrey.brazeel@sjc.edu
