AIHC School of Biblical Studies Update Plans for In-Person Classes

AIHC School of Biblical Studies will delay the start of the first term. A recent surge in the COVID-19 cases, driven by the highly infectious omicron strain, has alerted us to enforce safety precautions to best protect our school's community. We will continue to monitor the public health conditions closely. The leadership team will inform our faculty, students, and staff on when we will open our facility.

The current task-force plan will continue as follows:

• We will continue online instruction using Zoom and Moodle in an effort to maintain a safe and healthy learning community.
• We will accept appointments only at our facility
• All visitors, students, faculty, and staff are required to wear masks for any meetings conducted on campus

AIHC-SBS COVID-19 Task-Force Plan: In-Person Classes

Mask Guidance

All individuals, regardless of vaccination status, are required to wear masks on the school's campus. Masks must remain on during the entire class period.
​
School personnel will be available to take temperatures and distribute masks to anyone who needs one upon entry into the school facility. 
Anyone's temperature 100.4 F or greater will be asked to isolate in a special room until further instruction is provided from school personnel.  

Options for Instructors/Presenters
​Vaccinated instructors may choose to remove their masks as long as they maintain a 12-foot distance from all others in the classroom while unmasked. Unvaccinated instructors or presenters must wear a mask during lecture.

​COVID-19 Testing

We highly advised testing for anyone who may experience symptoms or has come in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.  We asked that you inform the staff (Dean) of your test results so the school can proactively take precautionary steps to keep everyone safe.  Also, we ask that you follow the CDC guidelines for quarantine and isolation.
