As a reminder, you agreed to the following:
- I will regularly monitor the NU-Q’s guidelines related to COVID-19 on the Northwestern Qatar and MyNUQ websites and stay updated on any guidance provided by Northwestern Qatar.
- If I will be residing in QF student housing, I will review the requirements and guidelines from the QF student housing and follow the expectations set forth therein.
- I will be fully vaccinated (by an approved MoPH vaccine) or, if not, undertake weekly testing to access the Northwestern Qatar Building and other Education City facilities.
- I will submit any COVID-19 test results as required by Northwestern Qatar.
- I will immediately report any exposure to COVID-19, or any COVID-19 symptoms, to the Office of Student Affairs via the incident reporting form, and not participate in in-person activities until I am cleared by the School.
- I will immediately report any COVID-19 symptoms to NU-Q Student Affairs or to any other offices/functions required by NU-Q and will not participate in in-person activities until I am cleared by NU-Q.

- I will wear a facial mask in all public and shared environments on campus and whenever required by Northwestern Qatar, unless I have a medical condition that restricts my ability to do so (in which case I will provide the Office of Student Affairs with a medical certificate to that effect). I understand that the facial mask must meet guidelines put forth by the MoPH.
- I may be asked to clean my personal space in classrooms or other shared facilities before and after use.
- I will limit and will not participate in gatherings of more than what is permissible under the latest MoPH guidelines and will abide by the above-mentioned safety measures at such gatherings, as directed by Northwestern Qatar policy
- I recognize that individuals with the following conditions may have a higher risk from COVID-19 infection: 55 years of age or older, asthma, chronic lung disease, serious heart conditions, immunocompromising conditions, severe obesity, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, liver disease, and certain pregnancy-related conditions. If I need an accommodation to support with any of these conditions, I will immediately contact AccessibleNU-Q.

- I consent to provide relevant health information as may be requested by Northwestern Qatar from time to time and to Northwestern Qatar collecting, processing, and storing such information for the purposes outlined in this form.
I have read and understood this summary of return to campus requirements and agree to follow all Northwestern Qatar guidelines related to reducing the spread of COVID19. If I do not follow these requirements, I may be referred to Student Affairs or the dean’s office for follow-up. I understand these requirements may change given the
evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic. I further understand that if I have questions, I can raise them with the appropriate Northwestern Qatar office.
