Behavioral Expectations | Springfield College

Code of Conduct (updated 1/14)

The Code of Conduct continues to address issues specifically related to COVID-19. Some changes outlined for the spring semester include:

  • A mask, which covers both the nose and mouth, must be worn in public areas (e.g. hallways, bathrooms, parking lots, classrooms, lounges) at all times and outside. 
  • Commuter students may not enter any housing space or residential building. 
  • Resident students may not have any guests on campus. A “guest” refers to any non-Springfield College person and commuter students.
  • Resident students may have campus visitors (no commuters) in their housing space based on the COVID Occupancy Limits (see table). Not adhering to these guidelines equates to a large social gathering.
