COVID-19 Response
As we continue to prepare for the fall, the health and safety of the campus community is of paramount importance in our planning efforts. Ensuring the health of the campus community is our shared responsibility, and it will require a sustained commitment from all of us as we modify the way we live, learn, and work together. We have made necessary adjustments to conform to public health guidance to promote health and safety including the following aspects of campus and academic life.
We’ll provide updates throughout the summer and into the fall as our implementation plans are finalized or should aspects of these plans be enhanced or modified. Please regularly check the SPCS COVID-19 response page, your @richmond.edu email and follow SPCS on Facebook and Twitter to receive the latest updates.
