Guidelines Announced for Fall Semester
Dyersburg State Community College (DSCC) has announced health and safety procedures at its Dyersburg, Covington and Trenton locations for the upcoming fall semester. The College is following guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19 as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention.
Face masks will be required of all students, faculty, staff and visitors while on-site at all DSCC locations. Free masks will be provided at each screening entrance.
The College recommends that students arrive at least 15 minutes early before classes or appointments to allow time for the check-in process.
As students, faculty and staff arrive on-site, they will be required to fill out and submit a daily COVID-19 Health Screening Questionnaire before entry. Submitters will either receive an entrance pass or fail message via their MyDSCC email, based on the answers to the screening questions. The College recommends filling out and submitting the questionnaire before arrival to speed up the check-in process. The questionnaire needs only to be filled out once daily; however, those receiving an entrance pass will need to be prepared to show it upon entry into each building. Passes expire each day at 11 p.m. CDT.
Temperatures will be checked using a digital kiosk or handheld device each time a person enters a building.
Designated entrances and exits for each building will be marked with a green entrance and red exit sign. Maps showing entrance and exit locations can be viewed ahead of time at www.dscc.edu/screening.
Students, faculty and staff are required to fill out and submit the Public Health Expectations for COVID-19 Safety Form one time only before classes begin to show their commitment to keeping the DSCC community safe and healthy.
Additional information regarding how to access the daily COVID-19 Health Screening Questionnaire via MyDSCC email accounts on the Microsoft Outlook app, along with helpful pre-arrival tips and guidelines can be found online at www.dscc.edu/screening.
