As we all work together to prioritize the health and safety of our Portland Bible College community, please review the following information for the start of the school year. We each have a part to play as we take responsibility for our own health and the health of our community. Coming together to have school in person is a privilege that we want to protect. Let’s all do our part to make this year great!
How you can commit to helping create a healthy community…
- The CDC is still recommending that everyone wear masks in indoor public spaces.
- Monitor your symptoms of illness and isolate yourself if they occur.
- Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer throughout the day.
- Follow PBC and Mannahouse safety guidelines and signage on and off campus.
- Assist with contact tracing if you or someone you know becomes ill.
- Inform PBC campus pastors if you start to develop symptoms or test positive for COVID-19.
- Put the health of others ahead of your own convenience and preference.
- Remain gracious and flexible as guidance may evolve.
Dorm Guidelines…
- In order to do our part to keep residents as safe and healthy as possible, non-resident visitors are not allowed to enter the dorms. This includes family, overnight guests, off-campus PBC students, etc. Note that this policy does not apply to move-in/move-out days.
- Disinfect your room and doorknobs regularly and faithfully do your dorm duties.
