Commitment to Community Health
This will not be a normal academic year. Much of the freedom and autonomy of personal behaviors must be supplanted with a commitment to community health. The University depends on it in order to continue offering in person residential education. The people of the village, town, and county rely on it for employment and economic health. Students and employees are therefore required to review and sign a commitment to community health in order to return in person to the Colgate campus.

Travel Policy
The best way to mitigate the risk of an outbreak of COVID-19 at Colgate University and in the Greater Hamilton Community (Community) is to create a stable population, where travel in and out of the Community is effectively controlled and/or limited.
