Health + Safety

On this page you will find information about policies that impact life in the residence halls. For the full policy text, we encourage you to review the Student Handbook below. The policies for life in the residence halls are derived from local, state, and federal law and are enforced to assure safety of the community.

Residence Accessibility

Bard’s Buildings and Grounds Department provides routine maintenance to prevent maintenance and mold concerns, and Bard’s Environmental Services Department cleans residence hall common areas on a daily basis. Buildings and residence hall rooms are inspected multiple times per year. If you believe that you have mildew or mold in your residence hall room, please complete a work order as soon as possible so the issue can be addressed as quickly and effectively as possible.

Student Handbook

Quarantine Housing

Students who tests positive will be asked to isolate in their on-campus room or off-campus residence after their initial positive test. If they are still experiencing symptoms after five days, they should remain isolated until they are no longer symptomatic. If their symptoms end between five and 10 days after their initial positive test, they may end their isolation but must remain masked indoors or in group settings until day 10.
