In an email sent out by UNC Charlotte on July 29, students were informed of updated COVID-19 plans for the fall 2021 semester.
These new guidelines include face-covering requirements in all indoor facilities, which will apply to all students and faculty regardless of vaccination status beginning on August 2. In their messaging, the university cited recommendations from the CDC based on rising COVID-19 cases in Mecklenburg County. The face covering requirement includes:
The only exemption from this requirement are when students are in their personal residence hall rooms and when employees are in their offices. The guidelines backtrack from the university’s earlier summer COVID-19 protocols, which did not require masks indoors for fully-vaccinated students. UNC Charlotte’s University Recreation Center also released an announcement on Thursday informing students that they are now required to wear masks within the facility. However, these mandatory face covering requirements will not alter the school’s plans to deliver majority face-to-face instruction. Additionally, the university plans to return to full capacity and operations in the fall, including:
These updates came shortly after a COVID-19 cluster was identified on July 19 through the Niner Health Check, including five students residing both on and off campus. In order to be exempt from university testing, students must complete the school's COVID-19 reporting form. Vaccinated students who fill out the form have the chance to win prizes such as a free parking permit for the academic year or $500 added to their 49er ID card. Vaccinated students will also be exempt from completing the university’s daily Niner Health Checks and random mitigation testing. Along with UNC Charlotte, all UNC System schools have issued similar mask requirements following Governor Roy Cooper's recent announcement that requires masks to be worn in all school facilities regardless of vaccination status. North Carolina will remain under the state of emergency that has been in place since March 2020. Updated news about what to expect for fall 2021 in terms of safety protocol will be announced by UNC Charlotte leadership on Wednesday, August 4. ● The Recommended Content Widget will appear here on the published site.

As summer break for students officially passes its halfway mark, many are in good spirits. New reported COVID-19 cases across both the nation and the state of North Carolina are at some of their lowest numbers since March 2020. Mask mandates, gathering limits, social distancing guidelines, and other precautionary measures that had been in place for nearly a year-and-a-half are, for all intents and purposes, completely gone. Students have a lot to look forward to with their eyes on an in-person fall semester complete with face-to-face instruction, full-capacity sporting events and an overall bustling campus of new and returning students.
Our nation’s return to a “normal” way of living is unquestionably the result of mass vaccination throughout the past six months. As of this article’s publishing, The New York Times reports that 55% of Americans have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, with 48% fully vaccinated. And while the rate at which unvaccinated people get their shot is dwindling, there are nonetheless 160 million fully vaccinated Americans that have slowed the spread of COVID-19 dramatically. For many, myself included, this summer has felt like the most “normal” time in what seems like an eternity. I have had the privilege of spending close time with friends, family and co-workers wherever and however I please because I got my shot. The science is abundantly clear: if you are fully vaccinated, you can go almost anywhere and do almost anything without risk of severe sickness or hospitalization. For unvaccinated Americans, however, enjoying their summer without fear of sickness is ignorant at best – and deadly at worst. According to the CDC, more than 99% of COVID-related deaths in June were among unvaccinated people. Personal feelings and political beliefs aside, the facts speak for themselves: if you choose to go unvaccinated, you are putting yourself at immense risk of severe illness, particularly as the highly transmissible delta variant of COVID-19 now represents the majority of new cases across the country. The delta variant brings with it new challenges that vaccinated and unvaccinated Americans alike will face. As a result of its highly transmissible nature, combined with the fact that millions of Americans still haven’t received their shot, both The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal report a 94% COVID-19 case increase nationally over the past 2 weeks. As sad as it may be, we are not done dealing with COVID-19 anytime soon. As long as Americans are still getting sick by the thousands and dying by the hundreds each day, with the potential for these numbers to grow, COVID-19 will continue to be at the forefront of our personal and social lives. So, what does this mean for college communities? It means that until schools and their surrounding counties can keep new COVID-19 case numbers low and vaccination numbers high, this fall will likely look a lot like the last one, with strict limits on in-person classes, gatherings and events. Colleges and universities simply cannot take the risk of fully “re-opening” their campuses if students are going to be sick; it hurts their bottom line immensely as they pay for routine testing for unvaccinated people, provide personal and medical services to those infected or in quarantine, and miss out on ticket sales and revenue from sports games that are now forced to reduce their capacity for fans. The condition for colleges and universities to manage the fall semester in a “normal” way is a simple one: members of the school community, particularly students, must be protected from COVID-19 through vaccination. I have spoken with many friends and family members who tell me that they’re “waiting for the right time” to get the vaccine. Maybe in their minds, that time is the end of the summer, or perhaps the end of this year. If you're one of those people, I deeply hope you understand that there is no better time than right now to get vaccinated. I am aware that many are anxious of potential adverse health effects that may come from receiving a vaccine. It’s true: COVID-19 vaccines, like many other forms of preventative medicine, come with risks. However, this risk is microscopic compared to the threat of infection or hospitalization from COVID-19 should you choose to go unvaccinated. Bloomberg reported that for every million people vaccinated in the United States, just 2 to 5 of them will have a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine. And even if you aren’t concerned about your personal health, colleges and universities are waiting to make critical decisions on how their schools will be operating based on student vaccination numbers. It doesn’t make sense to remove social distancing and mask-wearing policies if administrators have no idea whether their student body can safely navigate such an environment. But with enough students fully vaccinated, schools can remove these precautions without worry. The summer is almost over, and in a matter of weeks thousands of college students across North Carolina will be back in the classroom. Right now, we have the power to choose what we want that classroom to look like. If we enter the fall semester with a majority of students fully vaccinated, I am confident that we will be happily sitting in classrooms and lecture halls across campus, engaged in personal and meaningful learning that we have missed out on for nearly two years. However, if we fail to step up to the challenge and vaccination numbers remain low, I expect another grueling semester behind the webcams of our laptops. Let’s make the right decision: get vaccinated as soon as you can and encourage your friends and classmates to do the same. ● The Recommended Content Widget will appear here on the published site.

On Saturday, March 13, Duke University took one of its most drastic measures yet during the pandemic and issued a stay-in-place order for all of its undergraduate students.
Essentially, the campus went on lockdown; in-person classes went remote, common areas were closed, and on-campus students were only permitted to leave their dorm rooms for essential activities such as picking up food. The order went into effect Saturday at midnight and was lifted at 9 a.m. Sunday. The move was in response to an explosion of COVID-19 that rocked the university this past week, with 241 new positive cases from March 8 to March 14 according to the school’s COVID-19 dashboard. In its messaging, Duke put much of the blame on off-campus gatherings, citing “recent off-campus fraternity-related events” in an email sent to faculty and staff on March 13. Isaiah Hamilton, a freshman at Duke, was not surprised when he first learned of the stay-in-place order. “My first initial thought was ‘gee, this isn’t really a shocker to me,’ especially since our numbers have been ticking up over the past few weeks,” he said. Hamilton has a dorm in one of Duke’s residence halls, but he’s spent the past week at his older brother’s off-campus apartment in Durham, opting to avoid campus altogether. “I got the message, and rather than stay on campus I just chose to be off campus here,” Hamilton said. Another influencing factor in Hamilton’s decision was that he had already gotten his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine as part of North Carolina’s 3B vaccination group, offering an added layer of protection from the virus. As the state’s vaccination campaign progresses, more and more college students, including those at Duke, have become eligible to receive the vaccine. Vaccination appointments were included in Duke’s list of essential activities for which students were allowed to leave their dorms during the stay-in-place order. Hamilton believes the key to containing COVID-19 at Duke is getting enough students vaccinated quickly. “I think it's a real question of time, right? Can students get vaccinated quicker than the numbers re-tick back up, or is it going to be one of those things where as soon as we go off of lockdown people just go back to doing what they were doing, then we’re going to be right back in lockdown?” One thing Hamilton noticed about the stay-in-place order was how divided the student population was in their reactions. He said there was — and has been for some time — a clear separation between students who took COVID-19 guidelines very seriously and those who didn’t. “I feel like if you are one of those people who are definitely partaking in a lot of the bigger gatherings or larger events… then you knew the risks going into the situation,” he said. “If you’re one of the students who, you know, have stayed inside your room a lot of the semester, or have kept to yourself and haven’t had a lot of contact with people then I could imagine it has been a lot more frustration.” Hamilton wondered how the student population would interact with one another after the worst of the pandemic is over and campus life becomes more normal. “Duke is one of those schools that prides itself on a sense of community since it’s a smaller school, so I’m very interested to see if that's going to cause any contingencies or shifts in what they had claimed to be a great sense of community previously,” he said. ● The Recommended Content Widget will appear here on the published site.

On Thursday afternoon, University of North Carolina at Charlotte Chancellor Sharon L. Gaber sent an email to the Forty-Niner community outlining the university's plans for on-campus operations for the fall.
The short message began with Chancellor Gaber outlining the success of the UNC Charlotte community on keeping COVID-19 cases low on campus throughout the spring semester, as well as noting that vaccine distribution across the state of North Carolina is happening quicker than anticipated. Gaber articulated that "This is very good news, and it means UNC Charlotte is in a position to plan for a return to full operations in fall 2021". Gaber outlined several goals and expectations for what campus life will look like at the start of the Fall 2021 semester. These expectations include:
UNC Charlotte's expectations for the fall are a swift turnaround from current university operations, where just a small fraction of students live on campus with even fewer in-person courses. Dining halls, sporting events, and many facilities are also at a highly limited capacity. UNC Charlotte administrators are optimistic that the fall 2021 semester will see a return to pre-COVID-19 standards of living and learning, betting on the ability of students, faculty and staff to become vaccinated well before the start of the term. In a similar spirit of transitioning back to full-capacity campus life, the university also recently released a statement committing to an in-person commencement ceremony for the Class of 2021 from May 13-15. Exact details regarding the number of ceremonies and their times are to be announced on April 7. In-person academic courses are also planned to be offered for UNC Charlotte's Summer term, albeit at a limited capacity similar to current spring operations. NC College Beat has not found any guidance released by the university regarding their goals for Summer term courses or campus living. ● The Recommended Content Widget will appear here on the published site.

NC College Beat has revamped the weekly roundup from the fall, providing regular updates on happenings within the universities and colleges of North Carolina through our new podcast hosted by Staff Writer Thomas Gessner. Listen to our episode using the audio player above or check out the episode notes below.
1. Duke University Students enter COVID-19 lockdown. Students have been instructed to shelter in place in their residence halls until at least March 21. This decision by university leadership comes after cumulative case numbers at Duke increased by more than 200 over the past week. (Further reading from Forbes) 2. North Carolina basketball programs kick off March postseason tournaments this week. UNC Chapel Hill will be appearing in the NCAA Men's Tournament as a No. 8 seed and NC State is a top contender for the women's tournament as a No. 1 seed. (Further reading from NC College Beat) 3. UNC Charlotte's Student Government Association Elections are in full swing. Voting will begin next Tuesday for Student Body President and Vice President, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Class Presidents, and all college-based Senators. Student Body President candidates Dick Beekman and Jeremiah Williams took part in a livestreamed debate in McKnight Hall yesterday afternoon. (Further reading from NC College Beat) 4. The state of North Carolina enters a new phase for COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines. While masking and social distancing mandates still remain in place, capacity limits have been increased for concerts, sporting events, movie theaters, salons and more. Additionally, the 10:00pm-5:00am curfew has now been lifted, and restaurants may now stay open as well as serve alcohol later into the night. (Further reading from WRAL) 5. The Snyder cut and the impact of streaming services on college students. Streaming Services such as Disney+ and HBO Max are continuing to make new ground with a greater influence on college students and the filmmaking market, most notably seen in the rise in new platforms and the introduction of major studios releasing their films through these services. 6. COVID-19 Dashboard updates. As discussed earlier, Duke is leading North Carolina in terms of week-by-week cumulative COVID-19 case growth, a trend that has also been spotted at other private institutions such as Wake Forest and Elon. Alternatively, the rate at which new cases are identified at public universities like UNC Chapel Hill and NC State has been steadying in recent weeks.
