Safe Polity Compact

As a member of the St. John’s College community, I have a personal responsibility to protect my own health and the health and well-being of others. This responsibility is based on the Rules of the College Community—civility, responsibility, honesty, and citizenship.

A healthy community requires my steadfast commitment to specific daily habits and behaviors.

I COMMIT TO

Protect Myself:

• Perform daily health checks and seek medical advice immediately if I have a fever, dry cough, loss of taste or smell, or other symptoms of COVID-19
• Wash my hands regularly with soap and water or use hand sanitizer
• Maintain my overall physical and mental health

Protect Others:

• Wear an appropriate face covering in accordance with college policy
• Maintain appropriate physical distancing, especially in classrooms and other common areas of the college
• Stay home or in my room when I don’t feel well

Protect Our Community:

• Participate in testing and contact tracing to promote the health of the community
• Keep my personal and shared common spaces clean
• Abide by gathering limitations on and off campus
• Stay informed and monitor college news and announcements about COVID-19

I understand that not abiding by these behaviors may result in disciplinary action up to and including removal from campus and dismissal from the college.
