Dear Students,
Housing Accommodations Have Changed
**Please read the entire message**
As you are aware, the situation with Coronavirus is continuously changing. As these changes in risk develop, Felician University must also adjust our plans. Please know the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff are of paramount importance. Given the current situation in the State of New Jersey, students who live in housing (on-campus, off-campus at the AVE, and the Hotel) must return home or be authorized to remain on campus if they meet the criteria listed below.
The University settings present unique challenges during a pandemic because of the density of students living and studying in close quarters. We are focused on decreasing the potential health risk to the University community following the CDC guidelines, state and county guidelines, the Office of Emergency Management, and the World Health Organization (WHO).
We understand that, for a variety of reasons, some students cannot return home. We will authorize individual students to ensure they can remain on campus. Residence Life and Dining Services will continue to be available for those approved to remain in housing using the following criteria to guide decisions:
- A student who faces housing insecurity (homelessness or a precarious living situation);
- A student who faces financial insecurity;
- A student previously certified “independent for the purposes of financial aid”;
- An international student;
- A student who is working on campus.;
- A Resident Assistant (RA);
- A Student whose home is beyond 150 miles from the University.
Other Policies that will be put in place:
- The Guest Policy is suspended; no guest will be authorized to be in the residence halls at any time during this period;
- Breaking any Residence Life or Student Conduct policy will result in immediate removal from the Residence Halls for the duration of this virtual learning experience;
- No more than four people are permitted in any one room
- Students are not permitted to visit between buildings;
- 24 Hours Quiet Hours will be enforced.
Please understand the University will be closing many of our facilities to limit the spread of the virus for example the gymnasium, work out facilities, gaming room, and some dining areas.
Students who must remain in Felician University-provided housing during this time must register with the Office of Residence Life (ORL) by clicking here.
