UT-Arlington asks students to stay home ‘as much as possible’ before coming back to campus - The Dallas Morning News

The University of Texas at Arlington is asking all students to limit their social activities and contact with non-household members “to the maximum extent possible” for two weeks before returning to campus for the fall semester.

The request for a “14-day pause on outside activities” is one of several precautions the university is taking this fall to try and ensure student safety during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a university email sent last week.

The email outlined the steps students should take:

• “Stay in your home as much as possible and limit your interactions to immediate family and those who live within your household.
• Avoid public transportation if possible, eating out, and large group gatherings.
• Continue social distancing from others by remaining at least 6 feet away from anyone you come into contact with.
• Do not allow unnecessary guests into your home.
• Wear a mask at all times when out in public.”

School begins Aug. 26. The university has adopted a mixed learning model for the fall semester, offering online, in-person and hybrid courses. After the Thanksgiving break, however, all testing and classes will be online only.

Face masks are required in all campus buildings, and social distancing will be enforced. The university is also urging students to self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms and check their temperatures before coming to campus.

Also helping the university’s back-to-campus plan is the newly repurposed North Texas Genome Center, which a professor has transformed into a COVID-19 testing center.

Since March, the university has reported 14 positive coronavirus cases, including students and staff members.
