UTM Housing and Residence Life Fall 2020 SARS CoV 2 Updates
Isolation spaces have been set aside for students requiring self-isolation due to testing positive for COVID-19.
Housing will require the wearing of face-coverings inside all public areas of the residence halls.
Restrictive Visitation Policy
No external visitors
Visitation of registered UTM students only
Limited to one guest between the hours of noon-midnight
No overnight guests
Permission must be received from roommates/suitemates before guest arrival when they will be in a shared space.
This will be enforced through the standard visitation violation procedures involving the removal of guests, documentation, and referral to Hall Director or Student Conduct.
Programming and Events
Housing is canceling all large-scale programming/events and creating programs that can be implemented virtually, with small group social distancing, or a hybrid of both.
All in-person events will require students to RSVP before the event in Runway.
Temperature and face-covering checks will be conducted at all in-person event check-ins.
Portable containers of hand sanitizer will be made readily available free of charge for all in-person events.
Community areas inside the halls will be modified or closed to promote social distancing standards. This may impact lobbies, study areas, Living Learning Community spaces, and computer labs.
Housing facilities staff will be implementing enhanced public area cleanings and disinfection.
Custodial services of resident bathrooms will be temporarily suspended this academic year to reduce resident and staff contact. Students will be expected to maintain sanitary conditions.
All residents will be required to return home for the winter break. All residence halls will be closed after the completion of online finals.
All hall lobby entrances will be locked. Residents will use exterior stairwell swipe entrances to enter the building and exit through the lobby entrance.
Hand sanitizer stations will be widely available in all public areas of the halls.
With exceptions made for scheduled move-in and move-out times, access to the halls will be restricted to registered students and staff only.
