A phased-in approach to resuming on-campus operations at The King’s University begins June 15 with the phased-in return of employees to prepare for the anticipated return of students to campus in August.
Please refer to this guide for details on health and safety measures, a phased-in return of employees, and preparation for on-campus academics and student success measures.
Health and Safety
The safe return to on-campus operations relies on each member of the TKU community exercising common sense, good judgement, and practicing the health and safety guidance contained in the University’s phased plan that is based on guidance from the state of Texas, the Texas Department of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
For the safety of our community, all employees, students, and visitors will be required to:
- Respect social distancing measures (6 feet)
- Consider wearing face coverings or masks while in public environment on campus where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.
- Practice frequent hand-washing hygiene and respiratory etiquette.
Guidelines for symptom monitoring and self-assessment, types of approved face coverings, as well as information on when not to come to campus also can be found in the plan.
Return to Campus for Staff and Faculty
The campus will be open to all employees with restrictions beginning June 15, 2020. These restrictions include limitation of occupancy to 50 percent of the workforce at any given time. Further details can be found within the guide.
Return to Campus for Students and Guests
Given the limitations of staff and faculty occupancy, the campus will be open to students and guests on appointment basis only.
Students and Guests may make an appointment directly with any TKU staff or faculty. Alternatively, appointments may be made by calling 817.722.7000 or emailing visit@tku.edu.
