Living on Campus

Our Shared Responsibility

Knox’s culture of shared responsibility and care for our community will continue to be more important than ever this fall.

Campus Meetings & Events Guidelines

Please be aware of the updated guidelines for planning meetings and events in our current environment.

Move-in Day

Visitors and guests (anyone other than a Knox student, faculty, or staff member) are NOT allowed in residential halls or other on- and off-campus living spaces. A one-time exception is being made for families on move-in day. Family members assisting with move-in must wear masks at all times, limit the time inside the residential hall, and limit the number of family members in the residential hall to only those essential for move-in.

Before You Leave Home

Please check yourselves for any COVID-19 symptoms prior to coming to campus; if you are feeling ill, let us know and we will reschedule your return date.

Athletics

The NCAA and Midwest Conference have protocols in place to allow athletic competition to resume this fall. Knox athletic teams and visiting teams are subject to those protocols. In some cases, student-athletes and/or coaches may not be masked during particular practice and competition activities.

Masks

Masks are required indoors, regardless of vaccination status. This includes all Knox College buildings and spaces. There are several instances where it is not required or practical to remain masked at all times including:

• When students are in their private bedrooms in their residential suites;
• When faculty and staff are in their own offices; and
• When actively eating or drinking in the dining facilities.
