Guiding Principles

The University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton (UACCM) prioritizes the health and safety of employees, students, parents, alumni, and visitors as the guiding principle for the Spring 2022 semester. In addition to the health and safety of our campus community, UACCM is committed to fulfilling the mission of the college by returning to normal campus operations.

In March 2021, The Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas voted unanimously to return to face-to-face education on the campuses of the universities and colleges they govern, including UACCM, in fall 2021. Given that directive, campus leadership has committed to on-campus instruction while also delivering courses via other delivery methods:fully online, synchronous, and multi-modal.

Spring 2022 courses begin Wednesday, January 12, 2022.

Health and Safety

Vaccinations

The three vaccines for COVID-19 that have received FDA approval are Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson. Any individual who wishes to be vaccinated may receive their vaccination at no cost through local pharmacies and hospitals, as well as large distributors such as Walmart. Vaccination clinics can be found on the Arkansas Department of Health Website.

While UACCM is not requiring vaccinations against COVID-19, guidance from the CDC and ADH does differ for vaccinated versus unvaccinated individuals. Governor Asa Hutchinson announced on June 8, 2021 that Arkansas students who are exposed to COVID-19 will not be required to quarantine if they are fully vaccinated, while unvaccinated individuals will still be required to quarantine.

To be considered “fully vaccinated” a person must have completed the primary series of Pfizer or Moderna (two shots) or Johnson and Johnson (one shot). To be considered “up-to-date” a person would have completed the primary series and been boosted.

Use of Face Coverings (Required)

The CDC has recommended that based on the spread of the Delta variant, communities with high or substantial transmission of COVID-19 should require individuals, regardless of vaccination status, to wear face coverings in indoor public settings. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention website has a map of high transmission areas of the state and nation.

On August 11, 2021, The Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas unanimously passed a resolution to implement face covering policies for students, faculty, staff, and visitors, regardless of vaccination status, in indoor public settings where physical distancing cannot be assured in accordance with CDC guidance regarding COVID-19 Delta variant.

Disposable face coverings are available upon request.

Clean Campus

UACCM custodial staff will continue cleaning and sanitizing surfaces such as tabletops, counters, doorknobs/handles, elevator buttons, stairwell handrails, and restroom fixtures.

The following changes to the physical campus have been made:

  • Drinking fountains have been replaced with bottle filling stations.
  • Advanced air purification systems have been added to all campus ventilation systems.
  • Hand sanitizing stations have been placed at the entrance to each building on campus.

Employees are encouraged to wipe down or disinfect areas, surfaces, and equipment that they touch or use before and after each use. The employees are also encouraged to sanitize shared workspaces and items such as printers and copiers, mailboxes, etc. UACCM will provide disinfecting wipes and supplies, which will be available in all buildings.

Employees 

Symptom Monitoring Expectations

Unvaccinated employees should conduct symptom monitoring each day before reporting to work. Employees should be free of ANY symptoms that are suggestive of COVID-19 to be eligible to report to work. At this time, these symptoms include one or more of the following: 

Cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, repeated shaking with chills, unexpected runny nose or sinus congestion (not previously diagnosed seasonal allergies), muscle pain, headache, sore throat, fatigue, new GI symptoms, new loss of taste or smell, a rash similar in nature to frostbite, other skin rashes/discoloration

Employees exhibiting any of these symptoms will be expected to contact their physician for assessment of symptoms. Individuals who experience these symptoms should not come to work until they are certain that they do not have COVID-19. If the symptoms begin while at work, the employee should notify the direct supervisor and immediately leave to self-quarantine until having an assessment with a medical professional.

COVID-19 Testing 

Employees should contact their primary healthcare provider when experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. Employees experiencing symptoms or suspect they have been exposed to COVID-19 may also choose one of the following options:

Guiding Principles

The University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton (UACCM) prioritizes the health and safety of employees, students, parents, alumni, and visitors as the guiding principle to opening the College.

The primary goal for these guidelines is to lay out a plan that will allow individuals to be on campus while remaining vigilant in reducing risks associated with the novel Coronavirus.

These guidelines align with the directives and guidance received from the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas (RESOLUTION: Plans to Reopen Campuses for Fall 2020), leaders within the University of Arkansas System, public health notices issued by the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH), and the guidance received from the Centers for Disease Control and World Health Organization. Guidance received from professional associations and organizations also may be used for decision-making. Still, it will not supersede the advice and guidance received from the above named federal and state government or medical agencies.

UACCM remains wholly committed to individuals who have reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We will follow guidance received to provide the safest and best environment for individuals with legal protection and accommodations. Guidance from the EEOC and ADA have been used in the creation of this plan.

Our knowledge of the novel Coronavirus continues to evolve each day. Campus leaders will continuously monitor and analyze the guidance we receive and modify our plans as warranted.

Campus Cleaning

UACCM custodial staff have been cleaning and sanitizing surfaces constantly in preparation for the return of students. They will continue cleaning and sanitizing surfaces such as tabletops, counters, doorknobs/handles, elevator buttons, handrails in the stairwells, and restroom fixtures. High traffic areas will be wiped down frequently with disinfectant.

Employees are encouraged to wipe down or disinfect areas, surfaces, and equipment that they touch or use before and after each use. The employees are also encouraged to sanitize shared workspaces and items such as printers and copiers, mailboxes, etc. UACCM will do our best to procure disinfecting wipes and supplies, which will be available in all buildings.

Physical Modifications to Campus

The UACCM administration is aware of physical and operational changes that will help us to reduce the risk of community spread of COVID-19. We are committed to the safety of employees, students, and guests; thus, we have made many modifications to physical spaces and our business practices.

Modification of physical spaces—UACCM leaders have researched and identified several limitations of the current campus layout, and continue to make changes to ensure risk reduction. Examples of physical space modification include but are not limited to the following:

  • Addition of plexiglass affixed to counters or desks in high traffic areas to provide barriers between employees and those who need face-to-face services,
  • Drinking fountains will have signs that indicate the water fountain is not to be used.
  • When feasible, arrangement of classroom tables/chairs to facilitate physical distancing.
  • Advanced air purification systems added to all campus ventilation systems.

Employees

Employees with certain conditions may be at higher risk for contracting COVID-19 or may have a higher risk for severe illness.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s latest guidance suggests that people in the highest risk categories include individuals who:

  • Are over the age of 65
  • Suffer from chronic lung disease or moderate to severe asthma
  • Suffer from serious heart conditions
  • Severely obese (Body Mass Index of 40 or higher)
  • Have diabetes
  • Suffer from chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis
  • Suffer from liver disease

Employees with these or other high-risk conditions who have concerns about returning to work on campus should contact their direct supervisors to discuss their needs.
