Operational Mode 4 Polices

Operational Mode 4 - General Social Agreement

MICA’s Social Agreement outlines the commitments that each of us in the MICA community must make to do what we can to protect ourselves and the community’s health.

Everyone must do their part to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, understanding that while the aim is to reduce harm, we cannot eliminate the risk altogether.

Each of us is ultimately responsible for holding ourselves personally accountable to comply with the Social Agreement. Gently and with care, individuals should remind fellow community members of the commitments in this Social Agreement whenever appropriate. Individuals who repeatedly or significantly violate the terms of this Social Agreement may be subject to disciplinary action by the College.

All members of the campus community are asked to make the following commitments:

I will…

  • Agree to follow public health guidance and College policy regarding vaccinations, face coverings, and personal hygiene.

  • Use the #CampusClear app to self-assess my health daily and not physically attend class, access campus facilities, or attend campus functions if I feel unwell, am experiencing COVID-19 symptoms (such as fever of 100.4 or above, trouble breathing, shortness of breath, cough, loss of smell or taste, fatigue) or other flu-like symptoms.

  • Notify Student Health Services (students) or Human Resources and my supervisor (employees) immediately if I test positive for COVID-19, exhibit COVID-19 symptoms, or have been in close contact (within 6 feet for at least 15 minutes) with someone who has tested positive.

  • Follow the guidance of Student Health Services, my Primary Care Physician, and/or other qualified medical professionals should I test positive for COVID-19, exhibit COVID-19 or other flu-like symptoms, or have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive. I will return to active use of campus only after I am cleared by a medical professional.

  • Complete immediately a COVID-19 reporting form for contact tracing, should I receive a positive COVID-19 test result.

  • Submit to testing as required by Student Health Services (students) or my Primary Care Provider (staff/faculty), regardless of whether or not I am exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms Avoid gatherings that exceed the maximum number directed by the Baltimore City Health Department and/or the College. Abide by all posted signage indicating maximum occupancy for a given space (ex: elevators, classrooms).

  • Understand that visitors are only allowed on campus for essential educational or College activities, and that visitors must be approved in advance.
