<p class="MsoNormal">I will send a more formal welcome next week. In order for our semester to get off to a good start each of you must be CLEARED to come back to campus. If you are not cleared to come to campus, you are not able to participate in class.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is a two part process that is detailed on the Bring Back the Bulldogs website:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The first step involves you taking a COVID 19 test and getting results that indicate that you are NOT infected with the virus.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If for some reason you are unable to test at a GuideSafe location or arrange a test with your health care provider, please complete<b>
</b><a href="https://samford.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7QE3vVBGGJzYYwl"><b><span style="color:#0563C1">this form</span></b></a> to request another option for testing. You must complete this form as soon as possible in order for additional options to be provided.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We must take all care and caution in order for this semester to be a success. Passing a COIVD 19 test means you don’t have the virus on that day. We must continue to wear a mask, stay six feet apart, and be smart.<o:p></o:p></p>
