ANDREWS UNIVERSITY COVID-19 SAFETY PLAN

At Andrews, we face challenges head-on with determination, kindness and faith. Safety, Community and Inclusivity are the three guiding principles of Andrews University's philosophy for in-person operations. 

How We are Starting Again

Some colleges have opened and then closed a few days later. We want to make sure Andrews is open for the long haul. So, we have created a framework for life at Andrews that will keep us safe while learning together.

To read the whole policy, go to our COVID-19 Safety Plan page.

Residence Life

As residence life affects many of our students, we want you to know we are committed to your continued safety throughout your experience here.

In order to safely return to in-person instruction, Andrews University developed a COVID-19 Safety Plan. Learn more

Navigating the Plan

As you can imagine, there are a lot of details to cover to make sure we stay safe and to prevent problems that might shut us down. We compiled these detailed plans in our COVID-19 Safety Plan document. Click on the appropriate image to jump to the section of the plan that deals with your topic of interest.
