Dear SUNY Korea Students,
SUNY Korea’s COVID -19 Taskforce met on Wednesday, March 30, 2022, to review our current status. Following a comprehensive review, the committee has decided to end the two weeks of temporary online classes and return to the original mode of instructions, starting Monday, April 4. Please make the necessary plans to return to in-person classes as before. Furthermore, the committee has decided that larger classes that were being taught online will continue to be online. However, they can have in-person exams. Instructors of those classes will inform you if any exams will be in person and will provide the necessary information to you promptly.
These decisions are based on our contingency plan since our reported infection rate is well below 5%. Also, as before these decisions are in full compliance with government regulations. Our main goal is to enhance your educational experience with paramount concern for your health and safety. All of the class management rules and policies remain as before. Please review them here again http://www.sunykorea.ac.kr/sk/announcement
As before you are required to report any infections to your instructors immediately with proof of a positive test (RAT or PCR) taken at a medical facility. This is required in order to be excused from in-person classes for seven days of the quarantine period, which begins on the positive test date. During this period your instructors will accommodate you by providing all of the necessary information and resources to you.
Managing COVID 19 requires the cooperation of all of the SUNY Korea family. We believe that with precautions that we have in place attending in-person classes will not cause additional risk of infection, yet substantially enhances your educational experience. However, we ask you to follow our regulations and be vigilant both on-campus and off-campus to protect your health and that of your community. With the continued lowering of COVID -19 restrictions by the government, it is particularly important to be cautious during off-campus activities since they are much less regulated.
Thank you for your full cooperation and please send any questions or comments to covid19report@sunykorea.ac.kr
