Essential Information: PLU COVID-19 Community Standards & Final Census Survey

Dear Student

This email is being sent to all PLU students who have not formally checked-out of their on-campus residence according to Department of Residential Life records.

PLU intends to continue to provide a safe place for our students for whom their residence hall currently is the best or only place that they are able to live, learn, and to be in community during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Toward that end, we have information to share and requests of you. It is critical that you take a few minutes now to complete the Final Census Survey and read the MOU.

• Open and read the MOU (Memorandum Of Understanding) for Residential Students. This MOU is particularly timely given the possibility of travel during Spring Break; however, the expectations outlined in it are applicable at all times.

• Complete the attached Final Census Survey form. In order to provide the highest level of care and service for our residents who remain on campus, an accurate accounting is essential. We know that individual circumstances may continue to change and, if so, we expect that you will continue to update your CD regarding changes to your situation. We are also committing to this being our last Census Survey unless campus circumstances evolve significantly.

• In order to assist in providing a safe living environment, Card Access to our residence halls will be adjusted to nighttime levels beginning on Tuesday, March 24, 2020. In other words, residents of a hall will continue to have full access, but other visiting students will need to be met at the door and small group and physical distancing restrictions will need to be met fully.

Thank you for your attention and assistance as we continue to navigate these uncertain times together.
