KEEPING EVERYONE SAFE

The pandemic may have limited the kinds of visits we can offer, but maintaining top-notch safety measures allows us to deliver a rich visit experience nevertheless. Please review the following visit guidelines to help keep us all safe.

Dining on campus and staying overnight in the residence halls are not available at this time, but we’ll make sure you still get a feel for the excitement of being on a university campus.

Please do not visit if you have any of the following symptoms: fever of 100.4°F or higher, shortness of breath, cough, chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, or a new loss of taste or smell.

Please limit your visit party to only the student and family members. For the health and safety of our community, anyone coming to campus is required to wear a mask (staff, faculty, and all visitors).

We’ll welcome you with a wave or the “John Calvin greeting” instead of our usual handshake.

We’ll do our best to maintain 6 feet of physical distance between you and Calvin staff members.

We'll also ask you to have your temperature checked and use hand sanitizer that’s available around campus. You will be cleared to visit if your temperature is less than 100.4°F.
