Marymount University plans fully in-person instruction in the fall, university officials say, along with a return to a more \u201cnormal\u201d college experience for students in regard to resident life, athletics and campus activities.<\/p>\n

For both the fall 2020 and spring 2021 semesters, Marymount has been operating through a hybrid model that has allowed students to take classes either on campus or remotely. No positive COVID-19 cases at Marymount have been traced back to classroom settings, officials said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have done everything possible to keep our students and employees safe,\u201d university president Irma Becerra said. \u201cReaching this point where we can make a full return to in-person learning and living is thanks to our community members as a whole, who have all played a part in our collective success.\u201d<\/p>\n

All resident students, student-athletes, commuters registered for in-person classes, faculty who teach in-person classes and identified staff members were tested for COVID-19 prior to the start of classes in January.<\/p>\n

In addition, Marymount recently joined other DC-area universities in the rollout of an innovative saliva-based COVID-19 testing system, Shield T3, with a mobile laboratory located at Gallaudet University.<\/p>\n

Marymount is currently processing about 5,000 tests per week through the Shield T3 lab to monitor student-athletes and conduct enhanced \u201csurveillance testing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marymount also is working on a campus plan for vaccination for when it becomes available to colleges and universities. In Virginia, essential workers at higher education institutions are eligible for COVID-19 vaccines in the upcoming Phase 1C.<\/p>\n

Students with \u201cunique circumstances\u201d may be allowed to opt out of fully in-person instruction and participate in either a hybrid or remote format this fall, university officials said.<\/p>\n
