Coronavirus (COVID-19) College Update – April 30

On-Campus Access

BTECH is dedicated to the success of our students. To minimize the barriers students are experiencing with distance learning and in conjunction with the State of Utah’s improved status, programs will be allowed to conduct limited on-campus instruction by appointment only beginning Monday, May 18, 2020. On-campus, in-person instruction will be in compliance with the most current health department recommendations and may be restricted at any time. Students will receive instructions on how to request campus access from their program faculty through email. 

The College will continue to follow current national, state, and regional guidelines provided by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the Governor’s office, and the Bear River Health Department including:

• Social distancing.

• Student access through scheduled appointments only.

• Limited number of students in programs (following current guidelines)

• Temperature screening (not over 100° F/ 37.8° C); and must not have:
  • new or worsening cough
