What kind of face-covering can I use?
Face-coverings may be factory or hand-made face masks or
face cloths that completely cover the nose and mouth by way of ties, straps, or
simply wrapped around the lower face. Suggestions for making cloth face-coverings
are available from the U.S. Surgeon
General/CDC. When using reusable face coverings, you should properly
and frequently wash them. Students must dispose of non-reusable masks
themselves after a single day's use. What
you choose for face-coverings will need to line up with the institution's
guidelines.
- Must align with the University's dress code
standards outlined on page 10 in the student handbook: “being free from profanity,
suggestive phrases, alcohol, tobacco, drug advertisements, or other
inappropriate phrases or symbols.”
- Must reflect a love for one's neighbor and
respect for the university community by not being a distraction to others nor
advocating for groups or organizations whose mission is not compatible with NGU.
When the use of masks, face-cloths or face-coverings is
mandatory, North Greenville suggests that individuals familiarize themselves
with CDC recommended instructions on how to wear a face covering correctly:
- Wash your hands before putting on your face covering
- Put it over your nose and mouth, and secure it under your chin
- Try to fit it snugly against the sides of your face
- Make sure you can breathe easily
All students are encouraged to bring
machine-washable face-coverings.
As a part of New Student Orientation, each new student will receive one adjustable, machine-washable mask with charcoal filter sleeve (filter sold separately).
Returning students may receive the same mask upon request in the campus store (student
ID required). Additional gaiter and mask
style face-coverings, charcoal filters, and limited PPE items will be available in the
campus store to outfit the needs of the NGU community. For an expansive menu of PPE items, please consider shopping through Amazon.
Students who desire exemptions for
wearing required face-coverings in specific settings may appeal for an
accommodation. Please read about details
in the accommodation section.
