COVID-19 Preparedness Plan Update

In June 2020, Rasmussen University released its COVID-19 Preparedness Plan outlining the protocols and precautions the University will follow to provide a safe and healthy learning and working environment during the pandemic.

The Preparedness Plan is a living document that is subject to change as we continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and the recommendations and guidelines set forth by local, state, and federal health agencies, as well as the mandates set forth by local, state, and federal government agencies.

A summary of the major changes and how they affect campus operations is outlined below. The current version of the COVID-19 Preparedness Plan (“the Plan”) can always be accessed online by clicking here.

Summary of Major Changes:

Cleaning and Disinfecting Protocols: Consistent with the updated CDC guidelines released April 5, 2021, faculty and staff will no longer be expected to perform one mid-day cleaning of public areas. However, nightly cleaning services will continue to be conducted by third-party janitorial firms per the terms of their contracts with Rasmussen. Faculty and staff are expected to immediately clean surfaces and objects that are visibly soiled.
Disinfecting Protocol after Facility Exposure to Confirmed COVID-19 Case: Consistent with the updated CDC guidelines released April 5, 2021, after a facility exposure to a confirmed COVID-19 case, the campus will be closed until disinfecting of campus facilities can be conducted only if the known exposure incident occurred during the 72 hours prior to the time of notification.
All other cleaning and disinfection protocols for classroom, laboratory, and employee offices/work stations remain in effect.

Please direct any questions you may have to your campus’s local COVID-19 Lead.
