3. What is a HyBrid – HyFlex course?

HyBrid – HyFlex courses are instructed face-to-face and remotely at the same time. This course will continue to meet at its scheduled time. The student will be scheduled for certain days throughout the semester where the student can attend on campus. All other days the student must view the class from another location through Canvas.  The classes will also be recorded and stored on Canvas.

6. Why do I have to wear a mask/face covering while on campus? 

All Pennsylvanians are required to wear a mask as mandated by Governor Tom Wolf’s order when in businesses (including college campuses).

From the CDC: Masks and cloth face coverings may help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus to others. Wearing a cloth face covering will help protect people around you, including those at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 and workers who frequently come into close contact with other people (e.g., in stores, on campus and restaurants). Cloth face coverings are most likely to reduce the spread of COVID-19 when they are widely used by people in public settings. The spread of COVID-19 can be reduced when cloth face coverings are used along with other preventive measures, including social distancing, frequent handwashing, and cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces.

7. Will Manor provide PPE?

Manor students are expected to bring their own face masks/coverings to campus. Should a student forget their mask, students can go to the receptionist desk on the first floor of the Basiliead Manor building to receive a mask. Mask distribution will be monitored and replacement masks per student will be limited to one per month.

Manor staff are expected to bring their own face masks/coverings to campus. Should an employee forget their mask, he/she can visit the receptionist desk on the first floor of the Basiliead Manor building to receive a mask. Manor employees in higher risk departments will be provided with special face shields to go on top of their masks. Employees who feel they need the additional face shields should contact the VP of Finance and Facilities. Gloves will also be provided to those employees whose responsibilities require this PPE.

8. How will classrooms be cleaned and disinfected?

Classrooms will be deep cleaned and sanitized every evening. All classroom doors and building entrance doors will be sanitized in the afternoon between 12-1PM. Each classroom will have hand sanitizer stations and disinfecting wipe stations in the classroom for student use. If an identified case of COVID-19 occurs, the classrooms will be shut down for 24 hours for a special deep cleaning process before the classroom can be used again.

Restrooms will be deep cleaned and disinfected every evening and again between 12-1PM.

9. Will Manor staff and faculty be on campus and accessible? 

Staff will operate on a hybrid schedule of remote work and in-office work alternating with each other.  On-campus employees will work in alternating shifts.  8 AM-12 PM and 1 PM – 5 PM to allow for an hour of disinfecting in between and prevent prolonged exposure.  Temperature checks should be done by employees before coming into work.  If an employee has a temperature greater than 100.4 degrees, they should contact their supervisor that they will be working remotely as a result of having a temperature. All employees coming to campus must complete the daily screening form.
