Beloit Covid Plan
Safe, Sensible, Smart: Know What to Expect
Here’s what you need to know:
We’re back to being an entirely in-person, residential institution.
In-person participation in classes is an essential component of a Beloit College education.
Remote enrollment in in-person courses is not available.
General mask wearing is optional on-campus.
Masks are not required unless an individual is exposed to COVID-19 or is asked to wear one in a classroom or personal space.
Everyone should continue to carry a mask.
Students are required to provide proof of full vaccination.
A vaccinated and boosted community allows us to resume the normal on-campus experience we had prior to the pandemic.
Individuals may request an exemption, where appropriate.
Our primary commitment is keeping our community safe and healthy.
There’s nothing more important than the health and safety of our community.
At the end of the day, that’s what guides our planning and policies.
Updates & Announcements
Vaccinations, testing, and positive case reporting are no longer required. Masks are optional. The Beloit Covid Plan pages will be archived and no longer updated.
In a letter to campus, the COVID-19 Taskforce reminds the campus community to report all positive cases for tracking and awareness, such as through the dashboard.
A negative COVID-19 test is required prior to returning to campus for the spring 2023 semester. The test must be done 1-6 days prior to your arrival date using either a rapid antigen test (at home test) or a PCR test.
The following Protective Practices will be expected of all members of the campus community:
Maintain Distance
At least 6 feet, inside and out.
Limit Physical Contact
Avoid handshakes and other physical contact when possible.

Masks are not required indoors for students, faculty, and staff, but you may still be asked to wear a mask in certain spaces.

Frequent Cleaning
Of all common spaces and frequently used surfaces.
Stay Home
