In-Person Classes Resume At Middlesex College In Edison

EDISON, NJ — Middlesex College in Edison resumed in-person classes for the spring semester on Monday, Feb. 7. The college was virtual in January due to the spike in COVID019 cases.

As students return to classrooms, all staff, students, and visitors must wear masks indoors, regardless of vaccination status.

An emergency supply of masks will be made available from campus offices if for some reason a person does not have one, or a mask becomes defective, the college announced.

All students meeting for in-person classes in the Edison campus or at one of the centers must complete the Daily Health Assessment before entering College grounds. They must show proof they are approved before entering class or student services offices on campus, according to college administrators.

Students are required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to register for in-person classes. They must provide valid documentation of full COVID-19 vaccination.

Meanwhile, on Monday, Gov. Phil Murphy announced he was ending New Jersey's school mask mandate on March 7. But the state will allow individual school districts and daycare centers to maintain masking requirements afterward. Read More: Schools Can Extend Mask Mandate, But NJ Requirement Ends In March

Middlesex College said it revisits its guidelines and decisions "periodically" based on state requirements.
