As the University continues to respond to the evolving circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are committed to providing up-to-date information to our community. Below you will find this week’s new and updated answers to frequently asked questions regarding university news, policies and resources.
Please refer to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Resource Center for the full list of frequently asked questions and more information about health and safety and University operations.
Health and Safety
What is the daily COVID-19 symptom check-in survey? Why am I required to report daily on my health?
Georgetown is committed to protecting the health and safety of the University community. Students, faculty, and staff approved to be on campus, and students living in the Georgetown, Burleith, and Foxhall neighborhoods, will need to complete the One Medical COVID-19 Daily Symptom Check-in survey. Information from this survey will be used to assist the University with providing health and other services for anyone who may or does have COVID-19, as well as helping to prevent exposure to those community members who do not have the virus.
Information from the COVID-19 daily symptom check-in survey will result in a daily risk status badge from GU360, which you will be required to present at building entry checkpoints throughout campus. You need to receive a new risk status every day in order to maintain your green GU360 Building Access Badge. Please take the actions outlined in the GU360 Building Access Badge Guide to make sure you have a green GU360 Building Access Badge.
University Operations
How can faculty and staff access campus buildings?
Faculty and staff approved to work on campus are required to show their green GU360 Building Access Badge to gain entry to university buildings staffed by a public health screener. Those approved should take the actions outlined in the GU360 Building Access Badge Guide to make sure you have a green GU360 Building Access Badge. These actions include signing the One Medical consent form and completing the One Medical COVID-19 Daily Symptom Check-in survey every day, regardless of whether coming to campus that day or the next day. The daily risk status in the One Medical app is only good for 24 hours and must be updated every day in order to maintain your green GU360 Building Access Badge.
Faculty and staff who have been designated as telework-eligible and have not been approved to work on campus can no longer access buildings through GOCard. If you are a faculty or staff member who is working remotely and needs to pick up materials from your office, please follow these instructions for requesting access to your office. Please submit your request at least 48 hours prior to the date you intend to visit campus. If your request is approved, you will receive an email invitation via the new registration system Traction Guest, an enterprise visitor management system.
