Parent Guide - Getting Started 2021

Getting Started

2021

WELCOME

Eric and part of the admissions team welcome new students to Trinity on move-in day.

Dear parents and family members,

Now is an exciting time as your student begins the next phase of their life at Trinity.

2

Congratulations on becoming a part of the Tiger family! We are pleased to welcome you to Trinity University and look forward to sharing these next years together. Now is an exciting time as your student begins the next phase of their life at Trinity.

During these unprecedented times, Trinity has responded by remaining committed to the thoughtful, human-centered principles and practices that have guided our work for more than 150 years. The University is committed to your students as they move into adulthood, and the transition will also help you to take a step back from your daily involvement.

To help with the transition, we will be offering two Parent Guides this summer as Trinity finalizes plans about the upcoming semester and how to best maintain the health and safety of our community. We are excited and optimistic that the 2021-22 academic year will resemble a more ‘typical’ college experience—both inside and outside the classroom—and look forward to welcoming your student on campus in August.

Trinity works hard to communicate well with our families. We invite you to explore these guides, and we hope they prove helpful as your student moves into this important chapter of their life.

We all look forward to our future together.

Most sincerely, Eric Maloof Vice President for Enrollment Management

How Do I React When Those Calls Come?

By Leslie Wan, parent of a Class of 2010 Tiger

No matter how prepared for college or resourceful you feel your student is, you are going to get calls. These will cause you stress if you don’t understand in advance that these calls, too, shall pass.

The First Call

Often the first call will be lamenting that they haven’t made friends or are homesick. Both of those can be because they miss the family and the routine of the family.

There was comfort in friends they had spent years with, and making new ones is an effort. Making new friends requires them to rediscover who they are and what their interests are now, instead of the comfortable ebb and flow of friends and activities of the past. In truth, both of these are an integral part of a process that will follow them throughout their lives and career. What better time to experience this than when surrounded by a cadre of new students undergoing the same dilemma?

The Next Call

This could be that the food is not edible or is distasteful. Remember, our children are born with dramatic tendencies and haven’t foraged for food in our homes. This is the age-

old complaint of “There is nothing to eat in this house” on a grander scale.

Oh, to be back at home where food just appeared and they didn’t really have to think about it. “Healthy eating? Really? I now have to put that into my thought process?” You get the picture here. Usually, this is more about starving in a sea of possibilities. It takes energy and planning to maneuver through.

“Just wait until you live in your own apartment,” I thought. Once she did, my daughter missed Mabee Dining Hall!

More Calls

Finally you may hear, “Man, the work is hard!” “Yes, my dear daughter,” I said. “It is tough, but you are tougher!” There may be many of these calls, and they may be sprinkled in with some of the funniest calls you will ever hear.

There might be moments when you are absolutely certain that these times will be the best first steps in many independent steps to come.

Don’t panic, because in as short a time as two days, most of these calls will be forgotten and your child will have begun to figure it out.

You may still want to send them a care package now and again because it makes you feel better, but not because they are hungry in a dining hall of plenty.

DEADLINES & MORE

Student Health Insurance Plan The University requires students to maintain health insurance coverage.

To comply with the mandatory health insurance requirement, all students will be billed for annual coverage of the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) in July on the fall semester e-bill statement each year.

Students must fill out the SHIP waiver every fall semester to indicate whether they are declining or enrolling in the SHIP. WEDNESDAY The online health insurance waiver form will be available Student Health beginning July 6 Insurance Plan through Sept. 1 on the waiver due applicant portal and at trinity.myahpcare.com/waiver.

SEPT. 1

The premium for 12-month coverage for the 2021-22 year is $2,216. Details about the SHIP are available on the Academic Health Plans website at

PARENT TIP: Check your health insurance for doctors in the area before you decline the Student Health Insurance Plan to make sure, if you’re not from San Antonio, that your student has access to medical services in San Antonio under your family coverage.

– Parent of a Class of 2020 Tiger

trinity.myahpcare.com. All students are eligible for care in Health Services regardless of their health insurance.

Call Health Services at 210-999-8111 with any questions.

Declining the Student Health Insurance Plan If students have health insurance coverage through another source and want to decline the SHIP offered through Trinity, they must submit an online insurance waiver annually. A completed waiver allows students to decline coverage and have the charge reversed from the student account. If the waiver is not completed by the deadline, students will be enrolled in the SHIP and the corresponding charge cannot be removed.

PARENT GUIDE

Enrolling in the Student Health Insurance Plan Students who plan to be covered by the SHIP with United Healthcare should enroll through the online waiver. Once students log in, they may select the green button for “Yes, I want the insurance.”

By selecting this option, students can access benefits immediately when the term begins on Aug. 1. When electing to enroll in the SHIP, it is important to select this option as soon as possible to avoid a delay in accessing benefits. If enrollment in the SHIP occurs automatically due to not completing the waiver, access to SHIP benefits will be delayed.

Students will receive login and waive or enroll instructions for SHIP in July.

FERPA: Student Records & Privacy

Health Record Form New students must submit a health record form to Health Services that includes a recent physical exam, immunization records, and tuberculosis screening. The health record form is available online on the applicant portal and at gotu.us/healthforms.

THURSDAY

JULY 1

Sports Medicine Packet Health record All student-athletes form and (returning, transfer, sports medicine and first-year) must packet due complete a packet of pre-participation and sports medicine forms. This packet is separate from the health record form; first-year and transfer students need to fill out both this packet and the health record form.

Student-athletes will be emailed the sports medicine packet.

Tuition Refund Plan On occasion, students face the decision whether to withdraw from all classes for a semester. The Tuition Refund Plan provides a unique insurance option for protecting the financial investment impacted by such a decision. Upon claim approval, refunds up to 75% are issued on withdrawals for both documented medical reasons and documented psychological reasons.

WEDNESDAY Students will be billed $375 for the 2021-22 Tuition Tuition Refund Refund Plan.

Plan opt-out Students may opt out waiver due of this coverage by completing the online waiver at tuitionprotection.com/TU beginning July 6 through Sept. 1.

SEPT. 1

The federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) dictates that Trinity University cannot release grades and advising information or financial aid, student accounts, or billing records to anyone other than the student unless they file a Student Consent to Release Educational Records form. This form only needs to be submitted once and will be effective the rest of your student’s time at Trinity. A copy of this form can be found online at gotu.us/ferpa. If you would like to request information directly from the University, the Office of the Registrar must have this form on file. For example, to request grade reports, you must send an email to the Office of the Registrar with the request, and the form must be on file.

The University is also not permitted to disclose information contained in medical records or counseling records, so student visits to Health Services and Counseling Services will remain confidential regardless if the form mentioned above is filled out.

Don’t forget about the meningitis (MCV4) vaccine!

Texas law requires all new students to have the meningitis (MCV4) vaccination administered at least 10 days before and within the five years prior to the first day of class. The date of the meningitis (MCV4) vaccine must be included in the health record form with either an official copy of the vaccine record or the signature of the health care provider verifying immunizations. The bacterial meningitis (MCV4) vaccine is not the only immunization required for students living on campus. The health record form will provide information about other required vaccinations. gotu.us/healthforms

ACADEMICS

Academic Advising Early in the summer, students will be assigned a discipline-specific professional academic adviser who will help them get acclimated to their new campus and review general University requirements, Pathways’ curriculum requirements, preliminary major/minor degree requirements, the course bulletin, and the class schedule. A student’s academic adviser will also teach them how to navigate Trinity’s automated student system and our registration process. Additionally, together they will explore course options and will build their fall course schedule in preparation for registration.

Ultimately, the student’s academic adviser will work closely with them to facilitate their seamless journey to graduation during their first few semesters at Trinity until they declare their major (at which point they will be assigned to a major-specific faculty adviser).

Students received an email with their academic adviser assignments and important advising and registration deadlines in early June.

Course Registration Students will meet their academic advisers between June 21 and Aug. 13, and they will also register directly following their mandatory academic advising appointment. Course availability will be preserved throughout the summer for most courses, and advisers will work closely with students to help them finalize their first schedules during their registration window.

Ultimately, students will be invited to explore Pathways and tentative possible ma-

jors/minors of interest with intentionality, and to let curiosity be their guides as they begin their academic journey.

Add/Drop Period Don’t worry if your students can’t get into every class on their fall semester wish list.

All students can, and frequently do, make online revisions to their schedules during the add/drop period that takes place Aug. 18–Sept. 1. About half of all students make schedule adjustments during add/drop, so a substantial number of courses will become available as both new and returning students make changes. Students should be patient throughout the registration process and check course availability often using TigerPAWS, Trinity’s online registration system (tigerpaws.trinity.edu).

Credit by Exam Trinity allows students to earn academic credit prior to entrance through the College Board Advanced Placement Program and the International Baccalaureate Program. The University also recognizes some Cambridge University International Examinations. Trinity awards credit for most AP exam scores of 4 or 5 and IB Higher Level Examination scores of 5, 6, or 7. Find more information at gotu.us/creditbyexam.

Reading TUgether Book and Assignment Reading TUgether is a University-wide reading program in which the entire campus community, including students,

parents, staff, faculty, and alumni, parFRIDAY ticipate. First-year students either receive a copy of the Reading TUgether book or may Reading TUgether access it digitally—an assignment due email will follow with more information. They must then complete a short, online research assignment in conjunction with the book, due Friday, July 30. They will use TLEARN (tlearn.trinity.edu) to complete the assignment. To learn more, visit gotu.us/readingtugether. Students can visit Coates Library online at lib.trinity.edu for research resources and support.

JULY 30

The book chosen for Summer 2021 is Long Shot: The Triumphs and Struggles of an NBA Freedom Fighter by NBA Champion Craig Hodges. Hodges chronicles his successes on the basketball court and the social activism that resulted in him being blackballed by powerful forces in and beyond sports.

Hodges will deliver the Reading TUgether keynote lecture on Wednesday, Aug. 25, at 7 p.m.

Students received more detailed instructions about the Reading TUgether research assignment in early June.

Pathways Curriculum The Pathways curriculum ensures that students are equipped to face the challenges of the modern world with critical thinking skills, curiosity, and interdisciplinary perspectives.

Pathways has six key components: the First-Year Experience (FYE), the Approaches to Creation and Analysis, the Core Capacities, the Discoveries, the Major, and Fitness Education.

As a foundation of Pathways, all new students must take an FYE course.

Trinity will enroll students in an FYE based on a survey of preferences they filled out in the academic interest survey. New international students must take INTL 1100, the international student orientation course.

Learn more about the Pathways Curriculum at gotu.us/pathways.

Building a Course Schedule Academic advisers teach students about the tools used to build a course schedule and to plan an academic career. These tools include the fall class schedule, available at gotu.us/ClassSchedule. This schedule is distinguished from the Courses of Study Bulletin (cosb.trinity.edu), which is a course catalogue, updated in the summer, with more detailed class descriptions, requirements for majors and minors, and all academic policies and procedures related to enrollment, registration, graduation, withdrawal, and more.

Academic advisers will help students build a selection of possible courses and combinations written down rather than choosing one set of classes their hearts are set on taking. They also suggest first-year students take a manageable workload in their first semester of college to build academic self-confidence and a strong statistical base for their GPAs.

If your student can’t get in every course they choose the first semester, don’t panic. A Trinity education isn’t about checking off boxes; it’s about learning to approach complex issues and ideas in new ways. There are hundreds of Trinity courses in Pathways and more than enough time for your student to complete every major requirement, so encourage them to explore outside of their comfort zone.

Placement Exams

Depending on their courses of study, some students may need to take placement exams to ensure they are placed in the appropriate course level. Students are encouraged to complete math, chemistry, and foreign language placement exams in preparation for academic advising and registration. Students can find online placement exams at tlearn.trinity.edu.

Most placement exams will be available at tlearn.trinity.edu. For more information about placement exams, visit gotu.us/placementexams.

Math Placement Assessment Incoming students interested in taking Calculus I or II may need to take a FRIDAY placement assessment to determine course readiness.

TECHNOLOGY TUNetwork vs.

Tmail Accounts Students have received login information for two different accounts: TUNetwork and Tmail. TUNetwork accounts are used to log in to anything Trinity-based, such as the secure WiFi network, campus computers, the Student Account Suite, TLEARN, and TigerPAWS. Tmail is Trinity’s email platform, a form of Google Mail (Gmail). Students’ Tmail accounts give them access to Trinity’s suite of Google tools, such as an email inbox, a calendar, and Google Drive.

These accounts should have different passwords.

Do students need to bring a computer to Trinity?

Most students choose to bring their own computer for the sake of convenience and mobility. However, Trinity provides student computer labs around campus, so personal computers are not an absolute necessity. The University does not sell computers, but there are student discounts available that will help lower the cost (gotu.us/techdiscount).

What are the system requirements for a student computer?

Find Trinity’s recommendations at gotu.us/studentcomputers.

What is the WiFi situation on campus?

There is high-speed WiFi available in every residence hall and across campus.

Phones are available either in individual rooms or common areas (varies by residence hall).

When visiting, parents can use the TUGuest wireless network, available to campus visitors without a TUNetwork

account. Students will use the TUSecure wireless network, a secure connection available to those with a TUNetwork login.

Can students use campus printers to print wirelessly?

Trinity provides the Wepa printer system, which allows students to print using WiFi from their own devices anywhere on campus and pick up the printouts at a kiosk. If your student brings a personal printer to campus, remember to pack the USB cable. Personal wireless printers will not work on Trinity’s WiFi network.

Does a typical student need any other software or equipment?

Trinity provides a powerful antivirus software called Bitdefender (gotu.us/antivirus) that can be installed on student computers, as well as free access to the Microsoft Office suite. For more information, see gotu.us/software.

Some majors might require the use of resource-intensive software, so students considering a STEM major should consider purchasing a more powerful machine with a compatible operating

system. Keep in mind that specialized software is also available in campus computer labs and through a virtual desktop.

Who can I contact at Trinity with questions related to technology needs before classes begin?

You can reach out to Information Technology Services at 210-999-7409 or ITSupport@trinity.edu at any time, or visit technology.trinity.edu and search for information on Trinity technology services and systems.

Students received login information for their TUNetwork and Tmail accounts in late spring.

TIGER CARD + DINING

Tiger Card: Your key to the kingdom The Tiger Card will be an essential addition to your students’ daily life on campus. It is their form of identification, as well as how they access residential halls and other electronically-controlled classrooms and labs. The Tiger Card also stores various monetary balances.

Meal Plan Options

2021-22 meal plans include a combination of meal swipes and Bonus Bucks, designed to give students the flexibility of eating at any of the Aramark-run Dining Services locations on campus.

• Meal swipes provide a certain amount of full-access meals at Mabee Dining Hall using board meal points that expire at the end of each semester. Meal swipes are like vouchers used for an allyou-care-to-eat buffet-style breakfast, lunch, or dinner. One meal swipe = one trip to Mabee Dining Hall.

• Bonus Bucks are declining balance dollars that can be spent at any Aramark location on campus, retail campus cafes, convenience stores, Mabee Dining Hall, and the Skyline Dining Room. Leftover Bonus Bucks balances carry over from the fall to the spring semester and expire at the end of the academic year in May. Bonus Bucks are a set amount of funds included in most student meal plans and cannot be added to throughout the year.

First-year students have three meal plan options, charged per semester. At the same time they complete the housing survey, they will select their meal plan.

If no option is chosen, the middle plan, Flex 240, will automatically be selected.

Students have until the last day of the add/ drop period, Sept. 1, to change their meal plan choices online at housing.trinity.edu.

Students can use one meal point each day at a location other than Mabee Dining Hall, for a value up to $6.50. If the meal costs more than $6.50, students can pay the remaining balance using Bonus Bucks or other forms of payment.

Tiger Bucks

The Tiger Card also stores Tiger Dollars (affectionately known as Tiger Bucks), Trinity’s popular declining balance debit card program that is separate from meal plan funds. Tiger Bucks are completely optional, and unused balances transfer from semester to semester.

Students and parents can deposit funds into a Tiger Bucks account, which can be used at all point-of-sale devices on campus and off-campus at several local restaurants. To manage their Tiger Bucks debit account, parents and students can access GetFunds at gotu.us/tigercard or on the TU Life app. Funds may be deposited online using a major credit card.

Tiger Bucks can be used to pay for various items and services on and off campus, including: • All Dining Services/Aramark locations (as a supplement to their meal plan if needed) • Complete printing services at Ricoh, an on-campus digital print shop

• Laundry machines on campus • Vending machines on campus • Campus health services

• Copy and printing capabilities from University computer labs (those that utilize the cloud-based Wepa print management system)

• Parking permits and fines

• Campus bookstore

• Off-campus dining establishments

• Campus theater tickets

Dining at Trinity There are various dining establishments on campus. All accept Tiger Bucks and Bonus Bucks.

Mabee Dining Hall Mabee Dining Hall accepts board meal points in addition to Tiger Bucks and Bonus Bucks. Students can eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner with an all-you-care-to-eat buffet.

Commons Food Court The Food Court inside Coates Student Center is close to students’ classes and offers a variety of food, from a Tex-Mex fix at Taco Taco Café to a healthy selection at Freshii. Rotating vendors vary and have included popular brands such as Which Wich and Panda Express and cuisine such as Ethiopian, barbecue, and Korean dishes.

Skyline Dining Room This sit-down restaurant in Coates Student Center serves breakfast and lunch with a view overlooking the city skyline.

Einstein Bros. Bagels Conveniently located inside Coates Student Center, Einstein’s offers fresh bagels, coffee, and pastries.

Starbucks Just inside of Coates Library, students can grab coffee, light snacks, and desserts before a study session.

P.O.D. Express These convenience-store pit stops inside Mabee Dining Hall and the Center for the Sciences and Innovation provide quick grab-and-go options for students on the move.

Off-campus cuisine Tiger Bucks can be used at several nearby restaurants, giving students the freedom to explore San Antonio cuisine with just their Tiger Cards in tow! Tiger Bucks can be used at: • • • •

RESIDENCE HALLS

July 1

Housing assignments will be emailed to students.

Because being a residential campus is central to Trinity University’s mission, undergraduate students are required to live on campus for three years (six semesters). Residence halls on the east side of campus are devoted to the first-year area, which surrounds Mabee Dining Hall and the Witt Reception Center, home of the Office of Residential Life. Each hall has at least one resident assistant (RA), with a ratio averaging 18 students to one RA. First-year area residence halls have small, quiet study lounges, as well as one large computer lounge and game room in Beze Underground. First-year halls are suitestyle, meaning that two double rooms are adjoined by a bathroom. All first-year halls are co-ed but same-gender within each suite. Students who have special requests about housing can indicate so on the housing survey, and the Office of Residential Life will work with them for specialized accommodations.

14

Students will receive their housing and roommate assignments by July 1. The Office of Residential Life works carefully to match roommates based on factors from the housing survey and options for housing based on shared interests, such as substance-free communities or those interested in entrepreneurship. Students may receive room assignments later than their friends at other universities, but that is because assignments at Trinity are truly customized to create a close-knit residential community on campus. We ask for your patience as we put all the pieces together to create optimal first-year housing assignments for new students.

Property Insurance Trinity University is not liable for losses to persons or property caused by theft, burglary, fire, flood, or water.

Students should maintain their own property insurance to cover any such losses.

Check your homeowner’s insurance to see if your student is covered. If students aren’t covered in homeowner insurance plans, they’re eligible for insurance with a low deductible rate through National Student Services, Inc. For more information, visit gotu.us/propertyinsurance.

Frequently Asked Questions What will my student’s room include?

Students’ rooms are furnished with...

• An extra-long twin bed • A microfridge combo unit (refrigerator/freezer /microwave) —one per room, two per suite • A desk and desk chair • A dresser • A trash can and recycling bin —one per room • A shower curtain or door • Smoke detectors • Blinds or drapes • WiFi internet access • Overhead ceiling lights • Air conditioning/heat Can we move furniture?

Yes, furniture can be rearranged. Beds are configured to be bunked. Alternately, beds may be lofted at varying heights so that furnishings, including desks and dressers, may be placed underneath lofted beds.

Kits will be available to secure lofted beds on move-in day—watch a video at gotu.us/loftedbeds.

Do we know room dimensions ahead of time?

Room dimensions and floor plan layouts are available online for each residence hall.

athletics teams, and comedy talk shows featuring Tigers on campus.

Is cable television available?

Digital cable television, including basic cable and Showtime, is provided in every room. Your student will need a TV with a QAM 256 digital tuner and a standard 75-ohm coaxial television cable. Check the television manufacturer’s website for tuner information.

Is there a laundry or linen service?

No service is provided. However, each hall has laundry facilities available for students to use. The cost is $1.25 per load for both the washers and dryers on campus.

Students can use Tiger Bucks or change (but no paper bills) to pay for laundry facilities on campus.

Students can also watch and record TV online. Trinity uses Stream2 IPTV, which allows students to watch TV on any device, record shows to their personal 20-hour DVR, and view live HD channels and premium channels. Read more about cable service in the residence halls at gotu.us/cable.

Are individual student rooms cleaned?

To ensure that the facilities are treated well, members of the custodial staff enter student rooms every two weeks. Staff clean the students’ bathrooms and vacuum the carpets if personal belongings are removed from these areas. We highly encourage students to bring their own cleaning supplies to supplement in between cleanings by facilities staff.

Students can watch TigerTV on the University’s cable television system, as well as online. TigerTV is Trinity’s 24/7 student-run campus television station, broadcasting shows on topics such as the arts, music, and culture scene, Trinity’s

RESIDENCE HALLS

You’ve Got Mail!

Need to send your Tiger a package?

Students receive mail not at their residence halls, but at the Tigers’ Den (below the Fiesta Room in the Coates Student Center). Students’ campus mailboxes usually remain the same until they elect to move off-campus.

Though students pick up mail from the Tiger’s Den, they should retrieve packages from the Mail Services Center, located near Prassel Garage.

To see a map of these locations, visit gotu.us/mailcenter.

Home Away From Home

Tiger parents offer advice on making a residence hall room a ‘home away from home.’

Welcome to the 2021-22 academic year at Trinity University! We invited veteran Tiger parents to share some tips for new parents—find them on the right side of this page.

Here are some other tips, straight from parents themselves: Cindy of Sacramento, California, recommends keeping a balance of about $100 on your student’s Tiger Bucks account. She says her student used debit cards and Venmo to share off-campus expenses. And in the event of an emergency, Cindy suggests trusting your student with a credit card.

Jean of Georgetown, Texas, says to purchase in advance a small, free-standing wire shelving rack for the bathroom. It is the perfect place near the sink for toothpaste, combs, soap, etc. that might not fit on the countertop when multiplied by four student occupants.

When addressing mail to students, use the format shown below: Full Name (student’s name; no nicknames) Trinity University One Trinity Place #___ (student’s mailbox #) San Antonio, TX 78212

For those traveling a long way for move-in, it may be easier to ship your students’ belongings. Packages for move-in day should arrive no earlier than Aug. 1. Students can pick up packages at the Mail Services Center near Prassel Garage on Friday, Aug. 20, and Saturday, Aug. 21, from 8 a.m.–5 p.m. and on Sunday, Aug. 22, from 10 a.m.–2 p.m.

For more information, visit gotu.us/mailcenter or email postal@trinity.edu.

Although move-in day is a breeze because of the help of Team Trinity, moving out at the end of the year requires some assistance, says mom Loretta of Houston. She recommends purchasing a dolly that converts from a two-wheel vertical truck to a four-wheel platform cart. “Sure comes in handy when you are moving them home at year-end,” she writes.

Another tip: Consider utilizing Bed Bath & Beyond’s ‘Pack & Hold’ service.

You can shop in your hometown store, then pick up the items at a Bed Bath & Beyond near Trinity (there’s one only 4 miles away). Also, don’t forget that San Antonio is a big city. Even if your student forgets to pack something, there’s always a store nearby that probably carries the item (Target is only 3.8 miles away).

What to Bring?

Find a full list of what to bring to Trinity—and what not to bring—at gotu.us/packingchecklist.

Bring a toolbox. It doesn’t have to be big but should have basic screwdrivers, wrenches, etc. for assembling items you don’t realize you need until you are moving in.

Invest in a mattress topper. A memory foam version is worth the money to make sure your student gets a good night’s sleep.

Make a checklist of items to pack, and follow it. It’s easy to forget about things.

Think about liquid hand soap and a pump dispenser for the bathroom. Also, Clorox wipes and facial tissues are good things for the room.

Have personal safety and protective gear handy. Make sure to bring your favorite face mask(s) and any hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes, or other supplies that will keep you safe and healthy.

Consider a locking box or lockable file cabinet to store items of value that your student absolutely wants to bring to campus but would be heartbroken if they went missing.

Load a small bucket with cleaning supplies for those times when housekeeping isn’t scheduled but the room needs a touch-up.

Assemble a first aid kit of over-thecounter medications that will help when the first wave of colds sweeps through residence halls. Include acetaminophen, ibuprofen, upset stomach medication, cold remedy medicine, cough syrup, allergy medications, Band-Aids, topical antibacterial cream, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent. And, of course, don’t forget any prescription medications!

COVID-19

Planning for Fall 2021 Stay Informed gotu.us/covid19

As the COVID-19 situation evolves and plans for the fall are finalized, Trinity will publish updates on its dedicated COVID-19 website.

Visit gotu.us/covid19 for up-to-date information about: • Daily reporting on positive COVID-19 tests in the community and number of students in isolation or quarantine on campus • Progress toward the 80% campus vaccination goal • Campus operations and health and safety protocols • And more!

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work together to safely reopen campus for the fall. The degree to which Trinity is able to “return to normal” for Fall 2021 depends on two key indicators for our campus and the community at large: the vaccination rate and the positivity rate for COVID-19.

However, based on current projections, Trinity expects to return to living, learning, and working in-person on campus for the fall semester. This means we expect classes will be taught in-person, with a process for students to seek accommodations with Student Accessibility Services if needed.

Other changes will include: • Students may return to in-person group and social activities, with guidance.

• Residence halls are expected to return to normal occupancy.

• Health and safety policies and guidelines should be eased significantly.

• Surveillance testing and associated quarantine of vaccinated individuals will cease.

PARENT GUIDE

At this point in time, Trinity’s guidelines are that masks should be worn inside classrooms and other indoor common spaces at all times. Outdoors, masks are not required unless in a large group setting (25 people or more) with no ability to sustain social distancing.

Changing positivity rates on campus or in the community could alter these plans, and we should all remain vigilant this summer.

Over the past year, Trinity has been a site for COVID-19 testing, tracing, treatment, and vaccination. Find more information about how these operations will look in Fall 2021 in the next Parent Guide, arriving later this summer.

Read about Trinity’s response to COVID-19 at gotu.us/covid19.

COVID-19 Forms

Students must AUG. 19 complete three COVID-19 data forms over authorization the summer and student before arriving acknowledgement at Trinity. They forms due can all be found at gotu.us/reopening.

Aiming for 80 If 80% or more of Trinity’s campus community is vaccinated by Aug. 1, we will enjoy a return to a more normal campus experience in Fall 2021. Trinity worked closely with its health and wellness team, including our epidemiologists, to arrive at this goal based on the efficacy of the various vaccines and the rate of transmission in Bexar County.

The Trinity community (students, faculty, and staff) must reach a minimum of 71% vaccination rate to return to in-person learning, living and working—and 80% to loosen our ProtecTU health and safety guidelines.

Bexar County must also achieve key thresholds, but fortunately, the community is well on its way to meeting those.

Eighty percent community vaccination gives us the greatest chance to end mandatory surveillance testing, limitations on student gatherings, and the prohibition of guests on campus as well as return spectators to Athletics and other events and performances and ease ProtecTU guidelines. Those who are vaccinated will not be subject to quarantine protocols.

While COVID-19 vaccination is voluntary for our students, we strongly encourage everyone to consider becoming vaccinated, as this will decrease risk to our entire community and assure a return to more “normal” activities and operations for Fall 2021. As new members of the Trinity community, incoming

THURSDAY

students who have placed deposits at the University can receive COVID-19 vaccinations during summer clinics on campus.

THURSDAY

JULY 1 COVID-19 Vaccine reporting form due

As we plan for the fall semester, it is vitally important that we know the rate of vaccination against COVID-19 on our campus. Regardless of your student’s decision about vaccination, they must complete a COVID-19 vaccine reporting form no later than July 1 that reports their vaccination status or intentions.

This form not only enables us to track our progress toward our 80% goal, but also helps us provide access to any booster shots as they become necessary. Once your student is fully vaccinated, they may use the same form to voluntarily submit their documentation.

The CDC recently announced that people can receive the COVID-19 vaccine at the same time as other vaccinations, so keep this in mind as your student plans to receive any other immunizations required for living on campus. Learn more about required immunizations at gotu.us/healthforms. The COVID-19 vaccine is not required at this time for Trinity students.

Student Authorization to Release COVID-19 Test Results and Information This form authorizes Trinity to receive your student’s data if they complete a free COVID-19 test on campus.

Student Acknowledgment of the Risks and Circumstances of COVID-19 and Consent to COVID-19 Policies, Testing, Daily Symptom Checking, and Contact Tracing This form verifies that your student understands and agrees to follow Trinity’s COVID-19 protocols.

COVID-19 Vaccine Reporting Form This form reports your student’s vaccination status. It is important that students fill out this form regardless of their plans for vaccination so Trinity can prepare for fall accordingly.

Students received these three forms in early June.

TIGER TERMS

Academic Advisers: Trinity’s academic advising team works with all incoming first-year students until they declare a major. Advisers help students advocate for themselves, create a curricular roadmap, develop a growth mindset, and navigate academic tools available.

Academic Convocation for New Students: The president of the University, alongside faculty and staff, welcomes students to Trinity in an official matriculation ceremony. The student dress code for Convocation is similar to that of graduation (without the cap and gown, of course). Parents and families are welcome to attend depending on capacity restrictions.

Academic Honor Code: Students pledge to adhere to this code, which shows a commitment to academic integrity and honesty. In addition to signing a pledge to the Honor Code during Welcome Week, students pledge the Honor Code on each of their assignments.

Bonus Bucks: One of the two meal plan tenders, Bonus Bucks can be spent at any campus dining location and campus convenience store. These funds are different from the meal swipe allowances, and unlike the meal swipes, any remaining Bonus Bucks balances roll over from the fall to the spring semester. Unused Bonus Bucks are forfeited at the end of the academic year.

Career Advisers: These staff members provide information to aid in student career exploration and guidance, professional document creation and skills training, and assistance in planning for internships, jobs, and programs for now and life after Trinity.

Experiential Learning: This part of the Trinity education encompasses any activity in which students are actively engaged in their education beyond the classroom, such as undergraduate research opportunities, volunteer experiences, internships, and study abroad.

Applicant Portal: This online portal was used by students for the application process and is the hub for many of the forms entering students will access before move-in day.
