Fall 2021 Emergency Remote Operations Policy Effective Thursday, 2nd September 2021, the University will move to predominantly remote teaching and learning as well as remote operations. The only exceptions to the virtual teaching and learning mode, will be courses that require face-to-face components and athletic training. These must occur in STRICT COMPLIANCE with all COVID-19 protocols. A subsequent announcement regarding these courses is forthcoming from the Office of Academic Affairs. At all campuses and facilities, faculty and staff are to work remotely, where possible, with the exception of essential workers (the Physical Plant department, University Police and Campus Security department and the Office of Information Technology). Other employees who must work on campus must do so for limited periods and/or in shifts only, following all COVID-19 measures, and limiting physical contact with others. University of The Bahamas COVID-19 Vaccination Policy The University of The Bahamas Board of Trustees has mandated that, effective Monday, 6th September 2021, all persons entering the campuses and facilities of University of The Bahamas must show proof of being fully vaccinated OR present a negative COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test. The rapid antigen test result must have been issued within the last 72 hours. In this instance, “all persons” refers to faculty, students, staff, alumni, vendors and other members of the public. For employees who must work on campus to ensure continued operations, but who are not fully vaccinated, University of The Bahamas will cover the cost of rapid antigen tests provided that proof of employment at UB is presented at the test site. The University will publish shortly the locations where legitimate faculty and staff may take these tests.
