To best protect members of our community, as of August 1, 2021, all students, faculty and staff are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to be enrolled in or employed at Maine College of Art & Design, unless approval has been recieved for a qualified exemption. As all MECA&D students, faculty, and staff on campus are now fully vaccinated, we are not currently conducting weekly COVID-19 testing. Although we will no longer be requiring every member of our community to be tested weekly, regular COVID-19 testing remains an important element of our health management strategy. All incoming students will be required to participate in a COVID-19 test upon arrival and we will continue to test a portion of our population each week to ensure early identification of potential cases, thereby allowing us to conduct contact tracing and prevention and control measures to reduce further transmission.
Masks are required in all public spaces and classrooms. Masks may be removed when alone in studio/majors space, office, or while eating.
As guidance from the CDC and Maine health officials continues to evolve, we are prepared to make any changes to our policies and procedures necessary to prioritize the healthy and safety of all MECA&D students, faculty, and staff.
